Even if there is a gene God still says it's wrong. Look, the world is broken right down to the genetic code in all living creatures. It happened when Adam and Eve chose sin versus obedience to Gods law. So whether you choose something because it sounded like a good idea-or some gene has gone south on you-it is still sin-and sin is something we are to overcome through the power of Christ.
"Come
unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke
is easy, and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
Take off the yoke of the sin of Transsexuality, and Homosexuality for that matter, and let Christ give you the peace of mind you have been looking for. It works every time it's tried.
Here is the story.

A gene variant has been identified that could explain female-to-male transexuality.
The variation is found within the gene for an enzyme called
cytochrome P17, which is utilised in the metabolism of sex hormones.
According to researchers it leads to a high tissue concentrations of
the hormones which could then influence the development of the brain.
Clemens Tempfer and his tram at the University of Vienna discovered
the variant within DNA samples from 49 female-to-male transsexuals and
102 male-to-female transsexuals as 1,669 samples.
The proportion of male-to-female transsexuals and non-transsexual
male control samples carrying the gene was around the same. But with
women 44% of transsexuals carry the gene compared to 31% non
transsexual women.
Linda Geddes writing in the New Scientist said: "While there
are many women with the variant who are not transsexual and many female
to male transsexuals who lack it, the finding raises the possibility
that the variant makes women more likely to feel that their bodies are
of the wrong sex, and that this is a result of their brains having been
exposed to higher than average levels of sex hormones during
development."
Mikael Landén of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm told the
publication: "The present study found that a mutant gene that
ultimately results in higher testosterone levels is overrepresented in
female-to male transsexualism.
"This is in line with what we previously know about masculinisation
of the brain and is therefore less likely to be a chance finding.
"Hence, the study is important and adds to the notion that gender
identity is influenced by sex hormones early in life, and that certain
gene combinations make individuals more vulnerable to aberrant effects."
Janett Scott, formerly the president of transsexual support group,
the Beaumont Society said: "Nature may have made us the way that we
are, but nurture is what gives us a problem."
