Breast Reduction - what good is to come from this?

what good is to come from this?

Why should I try to do right in this world when all the time I'm torn between what I feel is the right thing to do and what the Bible says is right. I'm not a religious person, but I do believe in heaven and hell. I used to be an abusive person, but have changed my ways. I'm happy in my relationship with another female bodied person, that's lasted 2 wonderful years. I am FtM, pre-op, and all that I'm ever going to do is get a breast reduction. I'm an Hispanic person in a relationship with a white person. Also born outside this country but I'm a USA citizen, not an illegal alien. But I'm not an activist, I'm just a normal citizen, attempting to lead a normal life. But I can't go anywhere in this world without watching my back for people to attack me or my girlfriend because we're "wrong in the eyes of God". I was taught that God created all the creatures in his own image, that he loved all of us, and that he didn't make mistakes. So why am I wrong?

Your not wrong! Where does is say that in the Bible!???????????? If you both like each other then why stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God didn't make any mistakes, if you read Genesis 1-3 I believe you'll see what happened that made every human imperfect.
God cannot make a mistake. You are made perfectly. If you want to change something cosmetically, then just make sure it is necessary for you and your partner. If she doesn't mind your breasts then you shouldn't either. Just consider the operation and its potential side effects. remember to have patience with others and their lack of empathy and courtesy. They have the problem with them self. If anything you should feel bad for them.
You cannot help who your heart loves. God is not against interracial relationships as far as white vs black or any other "color" of race....He is against a relationship where both persons are not right in His eyes. By giving you the gift of free will by his grace and glory, He also knows that gives you the chance to love who ever you want to. God loves you no matter who you love. Pay no attention to those who attack you. Pray for those who use you or persecute you for they know not what they do. Listen to whatever your instincts tell you. Not your mind where self doubt is always present or the heart where fear decides for you. No. Listen to your instincts for that is where God dwells, trying to guide you down the right path. Close your eyes and listen will all your being and judge not your "enemies" for they shall receive their judgement. Peace be with you and your loved ones......
i clicked on you so i will answer my best start with last one. you are wrong Only when you ask why should I try to do right blah, blah, blah. are you trying to please God or the people who judge you? why would your significant other love you and not God? you will never get the approval of the whole of mankind whatever you do you are in the minority but that doesn't make it wrong what good is to become? back to 2nd question just keep trying to do right even if you are 'torn'
You've become less abusive so, you have already become better in the eyes of God. People use the Bible as an excuse for all kinds of absurd hate based name calling. Adults who "attack" you for your way of life are sad example of the playground bullies all grown up. On behalf of all mankind, I invite you to smile and pity their shallow little souls.
God just wants you to be your self thats why we get a life review we are being graded on who we really are do you have love in your heart or hate. Love is a beautiful thing , When love is there god is there blessing you. God is love, you are experiencing him blessing your relationships with everyone in your life as long as you think your doing right thats all he wants, Listen to him he communicates with you daily. listen to your concious thoughts he's always telling you to do the right thing, Your a big girl you know right from wrong.
The usual argument for why you are wrong is that god did not make you an FtM. You were not born like that; instead it is a perversion along the lines of a child molester who claims a natural sexual inclination towards the act. I don’t hold this opinion, so don’t ascribe it to me personally. If you are Christian and believe the Bible is perfect, as some I know do, then no matter how you look at it, it's a sin and depending on the Christian god's forgiveness you will be punished. You could also believe that the Bible is not perfect and is written by man, so they may have gotten a few things wrong. Other than that you could take many routes that would be no longer Christian, like believing that there is a god but not that of the Bible or not believing in any god at all. But, in my view to be Christian you have to take one of the two stances above and frankly with topics such as homosexuality I don’t believe the second stance of the imperfect Bible is very strong. This is not because I believe the Bible to be god’s word in exactness, but is because it is made awfully clear in the Bible too clear in my view to be a mistake. I have also heard the view that such things could be birth defects meant to be overcome in order to prove your faith, like suffering or tragic events. Again don’t ascribe these views to me personally, especially since I’m not Christian.
I have asked myself that same question as I'm am sure allot of people have. I think it all comes down to spirituality so god should be pleased. I mean our bodies are only a vessel for our souls and your situation reflects that .
The Bible says that many things are right, such as slavery, the murder of women for speaking without permission, the shunning of women who are unclean, usually due to monthy cycles, the existence of racism, the existence of religious intollerance, the subjugation of other people simply because they eat pork, or shellfish, heck...the Bible even says you're gonna go to hell for wearing mixed fabrics, and there's probably a commandment against breaking wind on a Tuesday in a month in a year ending in an even number...so haveing said all of that, I wouldn't worry too much about what the Bible says is right. You've changed your ways, for the better and you are happy. MORE people need to follow your example. You're blossoming into the person you feel that you always were and there is no reason to be ashamed of that. Your identity, your dreams, your love are all yours: and what people never really look at whenever they're telling you about who and what you should be is that what you become is often YOUR gift to God. God (if you believe in such an entity) isn't up in heaving hoping to constantly have its ego stroked by a bunch of religion zombies who don't do anything but live according to commandments. We're people, not robots, after all. God is more interested in YOU becoming YOU and accepting that, because that brings happiness, not just to you, but to anyone you come into contact with (at least potentially) and that is far more important than something written in a book by desert dwellers more than 2000 years ago. It's unfortunate that you have to watch your back, but I also know that feeling. I'm in a similar situation. I have a boyfriend I've had for 6 fun and interesting years and for all of the "back watching" I have to do, I wouldn't change a thing, as far as my life and my relationship goes. He and I are ethnically/culturally different (Also a sin, according to the Bible) but that doesn't matter because our feelings for each other are real and not open for interpretational debate. And in answer to the last part of your question: You're not wrong. The people who condemn you without knowing you are wrong. On multiple counts. They're wrong because they're abusive, they're wrong because they're slanderous, they're wrong because they're breaking one of their own 10 commandments--that one about lying. Every time they say that you're doing something wrong, they're lying...they're bearing false witness, because how can they know that you're doing something wrong, if they don't even know you? So no. You're not wrong. Not by a long shot.
