In Turkish, we are 99% Muslim, we don't have separate pronouns for he/she, him/her, or his/hers. They are all the same pronoun "o".
LMAOđ
Iâm a Muslim (not trans or non-binary tho) and this video is not accurate.
Iâm not going to label it as transphobic because thatâs for the trans community to decide. Iâm only an ally.
1. You said the Qurâan only says there are 2 genders. Thatâs not true. The word âgenderâ is not even found in the Qurâan. There are 2 *sexes* and when the Qurâan talks about men and women, itâs referring to *sex*. Depending on who you ask, intersex can also be considered a sex, but the Qurâan doesnât talk about it. Does that mean Islam doesnât recognize intersex people or that they donât exist? No. The Qurâan was revealed 1400 years ago in a patriarchal Arabian society where *gender* was not understood the way we understand it today. BUT, gender identities have always existed. We just didnât know what to refer to them until now and nowadays people are more comfortable coming out. The Qurâan, because it was revealed at a specific time, mostly addressed issues that were prominent in the 7th century Arabia, and gender identity was not one of them.
If the Qurâan does not address this topic, how can you say that âislamâ (whatever Islam means here) believes gender and sex are the same? (Theyâre factually not btw - sex refers to our biology, determined by chromosomes and external genitalia and some other factors. GENDER is often defined as a social construct of norms, behaviors and roles that varies between societies and over time. Gender is often categorized as male, female or nonbinary)
2. You indirectly claimed âtransgenderâ is a gender. Itâs not. Binary trans people are still either men or women. Trans is just an adjective. You also claimed transitioning is not allowed in Islam. Do you have any evidence from the Qurâan? (Or even Hadith) because gender dysphoria is a real medical condition and Islam allows body modifications for medical necessities! (This is in Sahih Bukhari) Being trans is also not a choice and itâs something scientifically proven!
3. Clothes donât have a gender, this is also made up. The Qurâan doesnât define masculinity and femininity - and for a good reason. Itâs all made up by society. The Qurâan also doesnât forbid âcross dressingâ and even if we look at the hadiths that say âthe prophet cursed those who crossdressâ or whatever, its clearly referring to a specific context: *malicious intent* Fun fact: The prophet and especially one of his wives, Umm Salama R.A, had no issue with an effeminate servant that would be inside their house.
4. You claimed Islam imposes gender roles. I argue against that. Gender roles have been defined and implemented by classical jurists who decided what is and isnât allowed in âIslamâ and in a Muslim marriage. You would probably refer to Qurâan 4:34, and I would argue that on the contrary, thatâs actually one of the most *radically feminist verses* in the Qurâan, depending on how you translate certain words such as qawwamun, qanitat, nushooz, and idribuhunna.
So bottom line is:
1. The Qurâan says there are 2 sexes, male and female. Thereâs also intersex (which is why even sex is not binary) but Qurâan doesnât talk about it because itâs only a minority of the population.
2. The Qurâan does not address the topic of gender identity or intersex people (which, btw, the rules for intersex people are also made up by scholars! Why canât we do the same for trans people?) because the Qurâan only addresses issues that were majorly relevant in 7th century Arabian society.
3. The Qurâan does not define femininity, masculinity, pronouns, etc. as these are manmade constructs.
*The basic principle of usool al fiqh, a manmade system dominated by men, is that whateverâs not forbidden or addressed in the Qurâan is permitted and certain rulings are drawn by ijtihad (analogical deduction)*
***So, is being trans or non-binary forbidden in Islam?***
The answer is a hard NO.
***so how should trans or non-binary people live according to islam***
They should live just like any other Muslim. They can retain their identities and pronouns without going against the Qurâan which does not address this topic at all. Because Islam has very few minimum âgender rolesâ, they would follow the same rules as any other gender. IF there is a scenario where rules for men and women are different (like if you go to a segregated mosque) itâs best that they follow the rule based off their assigned sex at birth (unless they are a post-t trans man or trans woman, then they follow the rules based off of their gender identity)
I am confident that Iâm on the right path, and Allah loves when people stick to their authentic selves, expressing their gender identities the way they please without harming anyone else.
Now, with that out of the way, letâs address how trans people should be treated, even if you (falsely) think itâs haram
1. With kindness and respect
2. NEVER misgender a trans person on purpose. If itâs by accident, apologize and move on.
3. Try to refer everyone with they/them if you donât know their pronouns or gender, as gender identity is not apparent by the outside because itâs not based off how you look. Sometimes, pronouns donât even indicate gender, and a man may be using feminine pronouns and a woman using masculine ones. You never know.
P.S: Iâm not gonna label you as transphobic, but believing trans men are women, or that trans women are men, or that non-binary people donât exist or are âmentally illâ is a form of transphobia. There is no sugarcoating or loopholes.
Allah knows best and we should all strive to follow Islam the best way possible. Jazakallah Khair to everyone who reads until the endđMay allah make your day 10x better!
it is haram in Islam though . . .
Brother it looks like u lost ur way... Come back to Islam... Shaytan is messing up with ur mind
@@everythingsgood4487 Alhamdulillah Iâm a Muslim and Iâm trying to be more steadfast on my deen. May Allah guide us all.
@@AquaNature6K Let me make it clear to u ... Being trans or being any other thing except a male and female is not allowed in Islam.... (Ofc intersex is an exception) If a male feels like he should've been a female and he changes his body and whatever and identities himself as a female, he indirectly means that Allah was wrong to make hima male(Astagfirullah) or that he is not happy with Allah's decision to make him a male... Changing ur body is very haram... Allah gave u life, so u don't have the right to kill urself, similarly, Allah made u a male or female you don't have the right to become whatever u want.... And those people who support these wrong acts are equal in the sin... So be careful with ur words...
thank you for being an accepting & wonderful example, even if different from many. Proud of you
So. Hereâs a story. In high school, my schoolâs anti-bigotry group wanted to put on a play in which one of the main themes was that violence and cruelty towards the LGBT community was wrong, regardless of your personal beliefs. This was in 2003, and after fighting tooth and nail to get the school to let us put on the play at all, we almost had to cancel it because we couldnât find enough actors. At the last minute, an exchange student from Turkey agreed to act in the play, even though heâd never acted before, and as a Muslim didnât agree with the LGBT lifestyle. Heâd experienced some bigotry living in the USA so shortly after 9/11, and could recognize that that was wrong. He only requested not to play a gay character. Essentially, he saved the play.
All this is to say that I can fully accept and respect people having different beliefs than me, as long as they take a stance against violence and oppression towards people who think differently than they do. I think those people who are willing to stand up for the rights and safety of those who they do not necessarily agree with are especially to be commended.
All minority groups want the same: respect, no violence, no hate. I'm happy it's in our law that everyone is equal whoever you are, love, what you believe, where you come from :)
It's nice to know that you made it a point to highlight the injustice and wrong happening to certain people. You even took a step forward to spread awareness about this. However, Sidra, in this video, is simply explaining the genders acceptable in Islam. We are NOT supposed to treat anyone lesser because of their beliefs :D
I recently heard of a Muslim woman who wrote a play about honour killing. She and all the writers and actors who had been a part of making the play were ready to put the show on. Then she was told that the play was cancelled. Instead of her play, which was a very important subject, a different play was being put on featuring a Muslim woman who was bullied by non Muslims for wearing hijab.
Sure, both subjects are important, but hiding the problems in the Muslim community is just as dangerous as being open about it.
Pretending it doesn't happen any more is allowing it to continue. If Muslims can't stand up against it, who can?!
@@happydillpickle THIS. I have experienced more discrimination in my own community of Muslims than with people of other religions! We NEED to call people out!
Now it's 2023 and some old dudes were shaking their asses in front of children at a "pride parade".
:/
I love how respectful you always are of everyone. I donât agree, but I am not offended by what you said either and with this topic, that is a challenging thing to do.
Who honestly thought that Islam was pro LGBT? Basic research would tell you that itâs not. For those that are willing to accept that, I hope you do the same for Christians and Jews.
I love how Ninja Mommy is always so educational & respectful. True, there are some strong traditional values in Islam (like in many other religions), and everyone is free to follow them or disagree with them IMHO. So here's the deal, I'm not too sure myself what I believe in anymore, but that's not the point. My point is, as a previous more religious person, I never cared what my neighbour likes to do with their body, do they like men/women? dress as the other sex? are they not happy in their skin and identify as "the opposite"? I DO NOT CARE. What I'm a strong believer of is the following: I don't care what the foundations of a religion are, to me say: a Muslim trans woman (born a biological man), or a Catholic gay cis man, whatever way they identify themselves, DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR BELIEFS! That remains between you and your God(s) of choice, no one else gets a say in that! OH, but *insert religion* says that is not allowed!, again, you don't get to take that away from people just because of who they are. There are MANY religious queer people, who actually follow their religions and are better people than straight cisgender folks. Do you want to follow the more traditional values of your religion? Good for you, and just one thing to say, treat others with respect!!!
I'm on the fence about this issue tbh, but I'm willing to accept this kind of belief if you don't use your religion to justify acts of bigotry. And I don't just mean being openly transphobic and homophobic to trans and gay people, I mean supporting laws that actively seek to take people's rights away based on your religious beliefs. If you can't support the LGBTQ+ community bc of your beliefs, all I ask is that you don't go to the other extreme and try to take our rights away and make it harder for us to just exist
You wouldn't like me doing the same thing with freedom of religion
(PS. I'm using 'you' as a generic term, not just talking directly to Sidra)
What laws are you referring to?
Honestly as a Muslim, Iâm neutral. Iâm obviously not going to lobby for the death of LGBT individuals or anything, unlike some veryâŠ.erâŠ.extremist individuals. But do I support their actions? No, I think men are for women and women are for men. I donât think their orientation necessarily makes them a bad person, just misguided and easily susceptible to desires, if they choose to act upon them, that is.
I donât care if adults want to mutilate their body- youâre grown enough to make your own decisions by then. But if youre going to mutilate your body, make sure you at least pass. Itâs very disturbing to see a man with a beard in heels going to the same bathroom as a teenage girl. What I donât believe is exposing this ideology to children and forcing it upon them. Iâm a democrat and liberal Muslim, Iâm more open minded towards LGBT that most, but when it comes to child transitioning rights thatâs where I consider is crossing the line.
I have a question - hopefully I worded it well! So typically, when someone is born and raised to have specific beliefs (whether through religion or not), it can be difficult for them to see other viewpoints. Although some people can see those other viewpoints even if they don't personally agree with them. Anyway so, as someone who was raised to believe that LGBT etc. is completely okay and nice, I find it difficult to understand anti-LGBT views. Do you think that had you been raised pro-LGBT etc., that you would struggle to understand the Islamic view? In my head, LGBT and cross dressing is fine. I don't think that I would have understood anti-LGBT even if it had been how I was raised. Hopefully this makes sense! I feel like I have typed the same words a lot of times! x
Great question
I wasnât really raised to be a religious person or with any set of particular beliefs regarding the LGBTQ+
I was raised in a very cultural/Pakistani environment with little to no Islamic knowledge
After I started studying my religion more seriously (around when I was 21) is when I came to the conclusion that this is the objective truth.
I think there comes a point in everyoneâs life where they question everything they have been taught, so I personally believe whether you teach them or not from a young age, some people will seek out the truth one way or another and not conform to what society is telling them is normal
@@NinjaMommy Thank you for replying, I really appreciate it. It is really interesting to listen to other perspectives. As a society, even when people have different beliefs, if we put more energy into trying to understand people's perspectives then we would be a kinder society. Currently, people rush to conclusions too quickly without taking the time to try and understand people. As a society we tend to react quickly rather than respond carefully. I respect your views, thank you for explaining. xx
I really enjoyed your question and her answer, this was very informative :)
@@TallulahMorgana I grew up like you, I kind of supported LGBTQ+. But after learning more about my Religion and fully understanding that this is not right, I stopped. That doesn't mean that I would treat them any different. Its also a huge sin to judge people on this as it is a very private matter, so people who publicly shame others are just as sinful and thats not part of islam. But at the same time as muslims we can't be silent and act as if this is right.
@@user-cp4qu3nb1v I feel that discussions are really useful. How can people get on with each other if we make no effort to understand each other? It is lovely that on this channel both the audience feels able to ask questions and the creator feels able to answer openly and fully without the worry of being shut down or interrupted. Regardless of whether beliefs differ, discussion is a healthy environment when done respectfully and openly.
I wanted to ask what do I refer to for a trans person. I have a lecturer, biologically was born a man but now a trans woman. Islamically this person is a man/male, but would I still refer to them as he/him because when Iâm at uni it is weird say that when everyone will be saying she/her?
As a muslim you have to look at a body/chromosomes/parts and not look at the person she is. If you didn't know she was trans and she looks like a woman, treating her as a woman is fine - because you don't know - and do Dua (ask for forgiveness) if you do know that she is a transwoman, unfortunately you have to call her him/he, which is interesting. I'm not a muslim by the way, but this is what muslims around me taught me and what i understand from this ladies videos. I use the pronouns people like me to use, since i'm not religious i'm aloud to do so. I'm not the spokes person for Muslims, but i am interested in every religion and nobody answered you, that's why i tried^
â@@LAU-ik6dp thank you very much for your efforts! And I would say he/him usually. But my friends are non-Muslims so it might get confusing, for that reason I end up saying she/her, but I just use his name more often. Also, we live in a world where people get offended so easily and I don't want to cause unnecessary drama, people cause drama out of pronouns toođ. But ofc I won't change my beliefs to fit in with others and I still consider him as a man.
@@LAU-ik6dp Hmm, interesting point. I would recognize the trans lecturer as a man, but I would still use she/her because, again like the person above me said, I live in the US and I donât want to create drama.
as a non-binary person, i'm not offended really it's astounding to me that people get so upset over ppl who have different opinions i wish we could all just get along. I think it's a wonderful thing to believe in something and stick w it! love u ninja mommy!
I agree. Of course it can be painful if a trans person is being seen as the gender they are not, i understand that kind of view. I also wouldn't be to happy about it. But if you understand what someone's believes are you can't expect to get the treatment you want. It's better to find the things you have in common. Respect comes both ways right.
As Iâm a very weird (queer) pansexual dude, I decided not to follow all those men. I am non-binary when it comes to the state and an âinsÄn (man) when it comes to temple. Thereâs a separation between the temple and the state. I follow the QurâÄn (but commit sins, like any other Muslim), and be non-binary, when anything doesnât matter which religion.
only liked this bcoz u non-binary

Hello sister Assalamualikum...I have just started doing parda....so I have a question ...Is it really mandatory to wear burkha or kheemar to do parda?...Can't I just wear modest salwar kameez instead?...Please help me by answering the question
I have an aching question in general: Can Non-muslim men wear the head scarf in the style of a niqab/hijab so long as their intentions are good (Say they want to completely cover up for their religous or spiritual reasons)?
Hi NinjaMommy! Something Iâm curious about-You say that gender is based on biological sex (XX chromosomes for a woman vs XY chromosomes for a man). What about intersex individuals who have a different set of chromosomes or genital abnormalities who would fall outside of this binary? Iâm just really curious because what happens when someoneâs biological sex falls outside of the binary that Islam (and other religions as well) describes?
Then we are often mutilated as infants to match what sex the doctor thinks we're most like. It's a whole discussion point in Islam and worth speaking up about! Religion often treats intersex infants (and intersex people in general) like crap.
â@@lijstjestorm5896 you just said doctors did it, now ur saying religion. Is a doctor a mufti?
What are the rules/guidelines for people born intersex?
That's an interesting question^
They should stick to the gender they are most inclined too
@@LAU-ik6dp They are assigned a gender at birth, whichever is "dominant". So, in effect, they are Transgender, because they are living as only one of their sexes, and only one of their genders.
You can imagine how being intersex affects their ability to marry.
In Pakistan, intersex women often work as wedding dancers and are known as Hijra. They live in communities with other intersex people and other Trans women. They're currently fighting for their rights to be recognised as equal citizens in order to be able to access jobs and employment other than prostitution, wedding dancing and begging.
In 2019 a Transgender woman named Maya was murdered by her family. You can read her story if you search "Transgender in Pakistan: Maya, the woman who almost broke free."
Until LGBTQ people are fully accepted and integrated into Muslim society, their lives will always be at best, difficult, and at worst, in danger.
So this video upsets me. It's time for change. People can't help who they are.
Actually in Indonesia, which is the most populated Muslim country there are no he or she pronouns in our language, only they .... So there _are_ they pronouns. Tens of millions of Muslims use they or "dia" as a pronoun in Bahasa. Peace and love đ
Same with Turkish, Turkey is also a Muslim country. He, she, him, her, his, hers, are all the same pronoun "o"
In bangla as well, the only pronouns are "o","or" and "onar"
In my opinion its fine if you choose to belive that and follow it for your life, but the moment someone treats someone differently because of their lifestyle, or tries to force someone to live like them, that is when it is not okay. Even if it is someone close to you. If you are religious and your child comes out, let them live their life as they wish. Do not force your beliefs on them and let them have thier own relationship with god and religion. The same goes the other way around, if you are athiest and your child becomes religious, dont get mad let them find themselves.
Each person can live the way they see right for themselves as long as they don't hurt anyone.
Nope,people cant be whatever they want look how western society had become depressed since they are doing whatever they want and dont even know what they are living for,they became so lost and people need to be guided,man has to live according to the nature otherwise his way,his whims and desires will harm him. pure logic and you can see it everywhere unfortunately

If a white Christian or atheist said so, would the comments section be as respectful as Sidra is? I don't think so. I hope I am wrong, but where I live, I am surrounded by medias who wants a third gender. And it started to be part of education at school. Only muslims pupils do not have to take part of it, because their families ask them to skip it. But any other origins or religions, they have to listen to, and if they ask why, the answer is you have to be more open-minded đ
Good question
Because you are pushovers. Protest against it and dont take it lying down.
What do you think of ie hebdo in Islam?
Exactly people shouldn't get upset over people having different opinions as long as they're respectful and not hateful. Like me personally I believe there are more than two genders, but that doesn't mean I can hate on Ninja Mommy

As you said that intersexes are excepted to the rule that God only creates male and female, is it also applicable with pseudohermaphrodites like in this case due to mismatched sex chromosomes (X and Y Chromosomes), internal and external genitalia like in this case (Link: czcams.com/video/Yr_ZSxJ2ffw/video.html)?
Well said. What should you refer to somebody whoâs gay?
Nobody is mad about the fact that you are STATING what Islam says (meaning giving info on the Islamic ruling)
But according to some comments you liked ,itâs insinuation that you stick with the whole â LGBTQ+ people are ridiculous and want to stand against God and just want to create issues out of nothingâ by liking comments supporting theses homophobic ideologies ( I copy pasted one of them in this text I wrote )
Sidra, if people could make the CHOICE and be able to CHOOSE being cis-gendered and heterosexual, in a world of oppression against them specially as MUSLIMS , believe me , they would
Why would I want to deal with my queer feelings and sexual identity not being âwhat others consider should beâ if I can just decide to become straight and get over all the problems that comes with being anything else?
I am NOT saying this towards my religion (Iâm a Muslim female) Allah surely has a reason , I came to the conclusion (myself since Muftis donât talk about this enough, almost AT ALL, only thing they say so far is âdonât act upon itâ but what should I do next? What is recommanded for me to do? Etc etc) , I canât act upon any of it ( sexuality/ actively changing my appearanc either by dressing or biological interventions to fit into the gender identity I feel like I belong to) , so itâs a test from Allah , itâs a test that is probably gonna last all my life like many other tests that affects a person their whole life , and Iâm expected to not act upon it , so simply , I came to the conclusion that queerness is a test from Allah (swt) , and you should obstain from acting upon it , patience and fasting and prayer , and InchaâAllah rewarded for staying chaste and supporting the pain of gender disphoria for the sake of Allah (swt)
Iâm personally lucky enough to be pansexual, meaning I can have feelings for the opposite sex , meaning I CAN have the chance to find a partner InchaâAllah
But donât you think about the ones that are strictly homosexual? Or are transgender? How they have to deal with the idea that itâs either they stay chaste and give up on having a partner and making a family for the sake of Allah or disobey him? How they are like any other human being with sexual needs and will have to fast on that their whole life for the sake of Allah? How some will look everyday in the mirror wanting to commit su!c!de because they canât stand the body they were born in but fight everyday for the sake of Allah ? All of that to be considered âmaking an issue of something that wasnât here before đâ ? As if the choice is theirs/ours?
Iâm saying all of this as a response to you putting a like on some comments, one of them stating :
âWell, most of society has been following this model for a very long time. Now people are suddenly questioning it, and it needs to be explained. Thanks for not being afraid to speak what Islam taught usâ
Sidra, PEOPLE DONT CHOOSE TO BE GAY/TRANS , you never woke up one day and choose to be straight and cisgendered , others didnât too , all kind of sexualities and gender identities existed since the beginning of time in all societies, they were always in prostitution because they were chased as âfreaksâ and could only make a living by âselling themselvesâ to other âfreaksâ
Today , the only thing they want is to live a dignified life and be respected regardless of who they want to love or be sexually active with , they just want their sexuality/gender identity to be the last thing people would care about
As Muslims we are not allowed to take that path (of living like anyone else with a partner according to our sexuality/ adhere to our gender identity if not cisgendered ) , since Allah ordered us to not , and Allah knows best , and I guess what should be done following this analogy is to remain chaste and take it as a hard test from Allah (swt) and May he grant queer Muslims the patience to not act upon what is forbidden
But to treat queer people as if this is some sort of âbrain washingâ movement and â that they want to make others queerâ and âtake over the worldâ all the things said about them/us is literally ridiculous and far homophobic, the only thing they want is to be able to live like others and their sexuality/gender identity to be irrelevant ( some might say : if you want it to be so , than why do they make it âtheir whole personalityâ ? BECAUSE ITS A FORM OF PROTEST , every oppressed community will talk about their identity and pride as a form of protest ) , they just want equality and to be left to live , when homophobia will stop , everyone will be going with their lives
Again , as Muslims , we must choose to not act upon it for the sake of Allah (swt) , but the truth remains that ideologies supporting that queerness in a choice and a ârecent generation thingâ is far wrong , either for Muslims or non Muslims
I really invite you to have a moment to think about it, maybe talk to some queer people you might know and ask them questions and learn , because according to the comments you are putting a like on , itâs perfectly insinuating that aside of this video stating the Islamic perspective for educational purposes , you do have some ideologies against queer people that comes back hurting them
Wa Sallamou Aalaykoum, May Allah help us
I strongly believe that you are not born gay or trans or whatever.
I strongly believe that how you're raised, your surroundings, the influence you let in your life, friends and society cause you to have these feelings.
I am attracted to the same gender and I try not to act on it because I know it's going against Gods word.
I am Christian and I love the gospel because I must ENDURE to the end đ I'm so sorry if I offended u but this is what I believe
I love your voice ! I think you should do ASMR Sidra !
This is how a true Muslim states their takes instead of bigots using Islam to be assholes
However, sex and gender are not the same thing and gender roles differ from a society to another
Anyway, mad respect to you

You are saying something important here. The hate you get, we get. Therefor we should be the two groups that actually understand eachother in that. We also speak up about racism and freedom of religion, freedom to be who you are. Respect and love for other's are also my values. In the Western world Islam might be a minority, same as LGBTQ. You can't agree with it because you are a muslim, but you can decide to not hate, discriminate or attack. Same in return i can't agree with some things, but i will never hurt anyone.
@@LAU-ik6dp that is right thing to do
what about intersex people?
Intersex is treated as a medical condition/mutation and there are very specific rules regarding that in Islam
The goal of which is for the intersex person to conform to one gender, and there are some tell tale signs that doctors can determine off of
That's a good question! If they really cannot or don't fit into any of the binary genders I suppose that's when a different option could exist, but that's such a minuscule % of the population that it would be interesting to see how it would affect society.
@@mellidon it's not really that miniscule. Estimates are as high as 1.7% of the population. That sounds small, but in my kids grade in their school alone that means 1.2 kids are intersex. In their school there would be almost 7.5 kids. We have 6 elementary schools in town, so maybe 44/45 across elementary, and then add in the middle and high schools and we're getting close to 100 in just our small town. In my state that's going to be well over 100,000 people. Not a trivial number to overlook.
@@vzmkittyThatâs not how it works lol
@@NinjaMommy Interesting. And if they don't tell you their gender, you would just treat them as a man, because that's the save option?
Two points I'd like to add: it is now medically evidenced that trans and gender variant identities are connected to gestation and variations in foetal development - all natural and beautiful manifestations of God's creations. Also, to protect the mental health of and curtail the high suicidality risk for trans young people, active support and advocacy is necessary. Bless you and best wishes.
They are mentally unstable people. If your body says your a male or female, and your mind says otherwise your unstable 100%. Women athletes suffer because trans men always beat them in their sports.

I'm not LGBT member, neither Muslim, but I also say there are only 2 genders! Luckily in my language we don't make difference between male\female pronouns. I don't say that trans people are bad people (or anyone in the LGBT community) but no one can make me believe that " Feeling born in a wrong body " Is a completely normal thing. It's not.
And about clothing: there are of course male and female piece of clothes, but also there are neutral clothes. (Example socks, coat, t-shirts)
Well i mean it's not normal for people to wear glasses nature gave them their eyesight as it is but they fixed it whit glasses and they are considered normal and i think it should be the same whit LGBTQ people too ( i understand what you are saying and i don't mean this in a hatefull way this is purely my opinion i'm just saying it becouse i find it interesting when other people share their opinions (as long as they are not hatefull) it's the fact that you are still able to respect those kind of people that matters :)
@@themarianatrenchbitch9901 I get your point. But fixing the eyesight with glasses is a medical solution. Fixing the gender to identity... Is Not just medical.
I don't know any period of the history when people with glasses caused social problems. But transgender people definitely do. For example in sports. Or such an ordinary thing like using the public toilet. Or even the pronouns..... what people use in those language where there's no neutral pronouns? (Just male and female, like in Spanish)
@@themarianatrenchbitch9901 glasses is not an equatable example to trans. Trans people cut off perfectly healthy sex organs to "transition" and this is the complete opposite of glasses which are supposed to actually improve your physical ability.
Biology and gender are two different things. Biological sex is how you are born and gender is how you feel. Actually there's more than two, there's also intersex. Than you are born with both female and male 'looks' and they can not say which one you are. Your normal doesn't have to be my normal, which is fine. For me it doesn't feel comfortable to be this way, but i have no choice, i have to live with it everyday. If you believe it's a decision, i would highly suggest talking to us one day and ask the questions you want to ask.
@@LAU-ik6dp I don't think that sex and gender are so different (or at least in my language we use the same phrase ( - you could imagine our local LGBT people's explanation....))
I know there are intersex people, but they also "made of" 2 genders. Male and female. Being born with both genital is not your decision of course. But being born in one gender but not accepting it, is that person's decision

I'm loving that you are doing educational videos about Islam!
To me your gender is not important! I only want to know how to call the person in front pf me if it is not obvious.
From a place of curiosity, if a person is born into a Muslim family, community, or country, and they are queer/LGBTQ+, what would most of the Muslim people around them prefer they do:
Continue practicing Islam;
Or stop practicing Islam?
Some folks in the comments have said that âLGBTQ+ people canât be Muslims.â Do the people who believe that want them to stop attending Mosques and praying and having a relationship with God? Or is it more like, they want queer people to have a relationship with God but not *call* themselves Muslims?
They would want them to not live out their desires if they choose to be Muslim.
You can be muslim if you are apart of the LGBTQ. Absolutely anyone can be muslim. Being homosexual is not a sin, but acting on your desires is.
I'm not sure if you can still have a relationship with God without falling under and religion, but I assume you can.
There are a lot of muslims who sin, and I think Allah sees sins as equal. But I cannot speak for Allah.

As a human you either are born with XX chromosomes, XY, XXY, or XYY. You're still either male or female though.

Had a lot of conversations about this with muslims, this is the main reason why i'm not a muslim. Although the religion (and other religions) bring so much kindness and good things; I know from experience that nobody chooses to be a certain way. There's no reason to choose the hard way and be a trans non-binary person (me) right? that's something you are. Why would you choose for disrespectful treatment and hate everyday? Explaining yourself to every new person you meet for the rest of your life?
I have a lot of respect for all religions and never had problems with anyone. When you are educated enough you can have empathy. If that comes both ways, you have open conversations, you can adapt and understand eachother the world would really be a better place (care about the people around you). The statement at the end is a good one. There's still so much hate against so many groups, i really put effort everyday to bring groups closer together. Inclusivity is so important and excluding nobody is so important. Everyone matters. If this is what you believe, i have respect for it, i know where it comes from, i would not be the person having discussion with you, because it will bring us nowhere. I can only explain to Muslims how i feel, if they have respect for my view and i have respect for theirs, it can never go wrong. I am perfectly capable to find the other 99% that we do have in common. Let there be a world with no hate one day, no more discrimination, i would love to see that!

I'm not Muslim yet I relate HEAVILY TO THIS.
Hi Ninja Mommy! Love your videos and I say this with the utmost respect but "The religion I subscribe to only recognizes 2 genders" and "There are only 2 genders" are not the same statement. Even if foundational Islamic texts only recognize 2 genders, there are billions of people who do not subscribe to Islam and still more people who are Muslim but culturally recognize transgender identities. Religious and cultural norms and practices change over time and have done so ceaselessly for millennia. I'm glad that you acknowledge your intentions are not to spread hate or transphobia, however the phrase "There are Only 2 genders" is factually incorrect (as gender is a socially-determined concept) and serves to delegitimize trans identities, which does in fact contribute to violence against transgender people.
Peace be upon you and your family and all the best!
What happens if there is a transgender person who is Muslim? Are they required to live as the sex they were born as and hide how they feel? Real question btw.

Stop defaming Islam
Classical Islamic law, in terms of assigning legal rules, inter alia, explicitly recognizes four genders among human beings: male, female, DSD/intersex (khunsa), and the effeminate male (mukhannath) (Haneef, 2011).
It's a biological fact there are men, women, and intersex people (speaking only about biology, not all that other jazz). I will assume gender based on the way you look, feel free to correct me if you wanna be referred by other pronouns and I will respect that. But I ain't gonna ask you on the first meeting how you identify as in fear not to offend you.
as someone who is lesbian and gender non confirming, i respect ppl who believe that

@@chudemleko6493 and if you get offended so easily how can you be friends with someone of any religion cause most religions don't allow this
I think it's a bit misleading to claim to be the authority on what Islam allows, and doesn't allow. Being transgender is not explicitly forbidden in the Quran, so any definite claim such as the one you made is very much your opinion. Also surprisingly Islam is not monolithic, just like Christianity, there are sects and competing opinions and rulings on the doctrine. Very little things, maybe only just the shahada being what is can be claimed, as Islam is this, pretty much everything else is definitely not as clear as you make it seem. I think using Islam as a shield to completely exclude a whole group of people, and not with much evidence either is just that a shield, and it's quite irresponsible and sad.

@@justvalentino12341dude, you are not stupid for asking about something you don't know. Don't worry đ I hope I can explain it well. Intersex is a general term used for a variety of situations in which a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that is like âfemaleâ and âmaleâ. For example, an intersex person can be someone Who has male and female genitals at the same time. It is not a sexual orientation or gender or whatever. It is a medical condition and the person can choose whatever sex he wants or the doctor can make a diagnosis and assign it đ

â@@manaalahmed5799 I'm pretty sure that's not the case, you can't just randomly choose your gender, people who are born like that, it's considered as a congenital malformation, so they have to check their chromosome test to find out their real gender

@kimyang20492 no, they don't.
They are born that way physically. They can choose from two of the sexes.
I don't understand why people with body dysphoria don't try to change their minds instead of their bodies.
It's called BODY dysphoria not MIND dysphoria. Think of it twice. Someone can feel uncomfortable with the body they were born in and it's totally their right
Because if trans people don't change their bodies, you will be called the wrong gender everyday^ Which feels very strange. I personally don't transition, my body is fine the way it came, although i'm trans non-binary. For everyone it's a different decision. It's hard to do it like me though. I often explain it as; what if you were called the opposite gender everyday? And then people still don't know how it feels, but - if they have some empathy - they can get some idea.
@@LAU-ik6dp do you have anything else about your personality besides trans, nonbinary alphabet community shit?
@@itsaya_aya but there is nothing wrong with their bodies so obviously the mind is sick
Because itâs BODY dysphoria. Trans people have brain structures that match the gender they identify with, which is what causes the dysphoria in the first place. Itâs something youâre born with and you canât change that.

They are not ânon-existantâ just because you donât support body-mutilating surgeries etc. They obviously still very much exist.

Im not even a muslim and I agree there are only 2 genders i thought this was common sense but apparently it isnt idk what this has turned into at all i think people who identify as a non existent gender should by law receive mental help i my self am a member of the LGBTQ community and it upsets me that us bi/homosexuals or getting the blame for it when it has nothing to do with us
What on earth are you talking about? There are six or seven genders mentioned in ancient Jewish texts. In India and Pakistan, Transgender are famous for their work as wedding dancers and have been forever. In Native American culture, there is a third gender. Transgender people have been around, in many variations and varieties since the world began.
I don't understand why you are buying into the divide and rule that's currently going on, when LGBTQ people in general should be supporting each other! Instead, you, an LGBTQ person, are fawning over a niqabi Muslim woman who believes you are committing a sin just because you love someone of your own gender. Oh my days, sure, it's fine to be accepting, but don't throw yourself under the bus while you're doing it!
And those are facts cus the say there are more than 2 genders but non binary isnât a gender so there are only 2
You're amazing ninja momy
I'm not Islamic. But this is something that we can strongly agree on.
Also us we have two genders but people keep saying there is more than 2 genders , itâs weird
There are not, though. Gender is a social construct, not a biological fact, that would be sex, and seeing you refer intersex I think you confuse the two. Also, Shia Islam recognizes transgender individuals. Everyone can have their own opinions, but not their own facts.
Gender construct maybe in america. in many languages theere arent seperate words for sex and gender. Its both the same.
Judaism and Christianity say the same thing

With same-sex attraction, it is taught in my church that being attracted to the same gender is not sinful because you can't control it, although participating in sex with the same gender is a sin in Chrisitanity.
Christianity also believes that there are only 2 genders, man and woman, Adam and Eve were the first people on Earth, Adam a man/male and Eve a woman/female.
Islam and Christianity are quite similar and I believe we worship the same God, I don't completely agree with Islam but we all have our differences.

nice video allhamdulillahđ
That is technically transphobia by its definition (whether you're Muslim, Christian, etc), and it's okay to acknowledge that. We can have a fruitful discussion. Many cultures around the world recognize different genders, including Pakistan if I'm not mistaken. There are khawaja sira in that country from my understanding although they are often known as hijras in the South Asian sphere. Classified as the transgender community, how would this exclusionary language help them? Don't they deserve to be understood too? I know you know this, because you frequently preach love and acceptance for those from all walks of life, no? There are transgender Muslims who practice their faith with no issues and there are also other other Muslims (including in this comment section) who are respectful of other people's pronouns. You can't use religion to excuse bigotry just as islamophobes have no right to demand that women (cis or trans) remove their hijabs.
Trans-gender-ism isnt allowed in islam. There should be a visible difference between biological man and biological women.

This makes me sad. Gender is a social construct and it varies widely from person to person. Even if you just consider the sex by look at the genitals, or if you look beyond the sex organs to the hormone levels, simply using two genders to describe people leaves a lot of grey area and people not fitting into the mold. :(
It's just that now somehow being a masculine woman means they're a man and a feminine man means they're are a woman, gender expression doesn't mean a different gender, only that they are expressing themselves differently from what one would expect a woman or man to be, that doesn't mean they are something else.
Gender is not a social construct, we believe it is from god :)
Itâs not a gender construct, There is only man and woman, idk why this is so hard for you to understand
In a way how is it any different than someone who tries to fit into the mold of being queer
@Vanessa Muteia just because you fit in that way doesn't mean others do. Throughout history we have had people who identify as a different gender than their sex, sometimes this is accepted by society and they live happy and fulfilling lives. Sometimes it is not and they live fraught lives either in seclusion or out in the open. By imposing our own personal restrictions on others who may have a different way of living we limit their potential and make their lives more difficult for no reason other than satisfying our will. What if you had been forced to wear dresses, makeup and high heels, had had feminine hairstyles, and weren't allowed to engage in the tomboy activities you liked? I bet you would feel pretty unhappy for being forced to conform. Just because our norm works for us doesn't mean it has to work for others.
