It's good you can talk about it here on WP. These things can really eat at you if you can't tell a soul.
Perhaps things will become clearer over time - you are still quite young. I don't mean that in a "you're just imagining it" way, what I mean is that we are complex characters, and that it takes time to learn who you really are, deep down. That's usually what people spend their twenties doing.
I'm rooting for you

[color=green]Your experiences with the church is one of the reasons why I left that faith. It's a shame that there is so much sexism behind those walls, because that faith has many great family values at its core. But their treatment of both men and women are often terrifying.
Really that's the only issue I've ever had with the church, the sex related stuff, and probably the only reason I'm still a member is because of my grandmother. She's excommunicated, but that doesn't make any difference to me, I can take it by accepting things are grey rather than black and white, and her explanations of things provide a grey for me which I can accept. Still no way I'm coming out in Utah, I've seen the things people who are generally really nice people say on Facebook in regard to this issue. And on some level I'd think my family would be supportive, but it would also just be too weird.

But, can't you be transgendered and still retain the body you were born with?
There is a couple in South America. They are both transgendered, but never went through the physical changes. Just hormone treatments.
They recently had a natural born child just by stopping the hormone treatments. I know it is rare, but I am asking if the body makes that much of a difference? Doesn't it all come down to the mind?
I know that sound stupid, but I am trying to understand.

Yes, but there is still a crap ton of cultural problems being transgendered, maybe even more if you don't physically transition. I just don't think it's worth it.

Thank you. I hope I do.
