Understanding the Difference: Transgender vs. Intersex (Awareness Message)
 
The picture shows two young friends visiting Birth Defects Foundation, guided by our Chairman  Mr. Ansar Javaid and a professional psychologist. One of them is a patient with gender dysphoria (white outfit) and the other is a completely typical girl (green outfit).
 
The girl in white, though born female, feels an internal sense of being male. She believes she has a “male soul” and wishes to live as a boy. On the other hand, the girl in green supports the idea of changing gender and marrying her friend.
 
They were counseled that such desires go against natural biological reality and Islamic teachings. While both can undergo counseling to accept and feel comfortable in their natural gender, it is medically impossible to change the inherent biological sex.
Key Message for Everyone:
Your true gender is the one you are born with.
Gender dysphoria is a psychological condition, not a reflection of your real biological sex.
With proper psychological counseling, one can feel comfortable and aligned with their natural gender.
Surgically altering organs may lead to lifelong medical complications and does not change your inherent gender.
At Birth Defects Foundation, we provide specialized care for both transgender individuals and intersex children. Both conditions are treatable, but the approach is different, and professional guidance is essential.
Please understand this difference and make informed, safe, and healthy decisions for yourself andy your children.

Salute to the Dignity of a Transgender Person

A True Life Story
(The real name, address, and other details are kept confidential.)

A transgender individual from Northern Punjab contacted Ansar Javed, Chairman of the Transgender Rehabilitation and Welfare Society — a wing of the Birth Defects Foundation (BDF) — and a psychologist, to share the following true story:

“I was born a boy. At the age of 18, under the influence and pressure of society, I had my special body parts removed. I never told my parents. Despite my refusal, my parents arranged my marriage, unaware of my condition. On my wedding night, when my wife discovered the truth, she fainted and remained in a state of shock for almost two years without telling anyone. She continued to live with me and my parents.

Some time later, my wife gave birth to a child, whom I raised as my own son. When that child grew up, he got married, and I became a grandfather. I have never allowed that child to feel the absence of a father’s love — I fulfilled every responsibility with care and affection.

This is the point where I salute the greatness and dignity of this transgender person.”

(Note: If this story resembles anyone’s real-life experience, it is purely coincidental.)

The transgender person is now around 45 years old and says:

“The mistake I made 27 years ago due to bad influences in society — is it not possible for me to return to the natural state in which Allah created me, a 100% normal boy?”

This story serves as a lesson for all transgender individuals and parents to understand that no one is born transgender. Every child is born either a normal boy or girl. Signs of transgender tendencies usually begin to appear around the age of four.

If your son starts adopting feminine habits, or your daughter begins behaving like a boy, from around age four or later, immediately consult a qualified psychologist or visit the Birth Defects Foundation and Transgender Rehabilitation Welfare Society, where you will receive completely free treatment.

Furthermore, the transgender community should understand that the gender in which you are born is your true gender. A self-assigned or surgically altered gender is not genuine and can be treated psychologically. Those who undergo gender-change surgery may experience temporary satisfaction, but they can never become biological parents.

However, those who were born male or female can, through psychological treatment, recover from this disorder and live as natural parents according to their original biological sex. Even without treatment, they still possess the natural potential to become a mother or father in the gender they were born with.

When happiness knocks on the door…
Recently, Birth Defects Foundation shared a post with a powerful message:
“If your gender is unclear, don’t stay silent!”
This message reached the heart of a 22-year-old girl named Sakina (name changed), who lives in a remote village in South Punjab.
She contacted us and shared that she has been struggling with this condition for many years. But poverty, lack of education, and social awareness had forced her into silence.
After reading our post, a new ray of hope awakened in her. We connected her online, and after the initial consultation, she is now part of the treatment process.
Alhamdulillah, if everything goes as planned, she will be able to live a dignified life — even marriage and family life could become possible.
You can hear her story in her own voice in the attached audio message.
I am deeply grateful to all those friends who share Birth Defects Foundation’s posts on their social media. Because of you, this message reaches those who are silently enduring their pain.
May Allah reward you for this good deed.
Please continue supporting us so we can bring light to the lives of more people like Sakina.

The story of a brave child who was born in Chilas, and whose parents accepted him as a girl due to his unclear gender — even though he was actually a boy.

“A Lifetime of Regret – A True Story of a Transgender Person in Their Own Words”

 
This is the true story of a transgender individual, shared personally with Mr. Ansar Javaid, Chairman of the Birth Defects Foundation and the Transgender Rehabilitation & Welfare Society. The name and address of the person are being withheld for privacy and protection. Any resemblance to someone you may know is purely coincidental.
> “I was born a perfectly normal boy – 100% male. But from a young age, I started to enjoy behaving like girls. At family functions and weddings, I would often dance like girls. Once, someone recorded my dance at a wedding and uploaded it to Facebook. Somehow, my father saw the video. He was furious and beat me severely.
This kind of abuse continued for years. By the time I was 14 or 15, my mother — helpless and unable to protect me — advised me to run away from home for my safety. Taking her words to heart, I left my home and went to another city with no support, no shelter, and no resources.
That first night, as darkness fell, I began to cry. I had nowhere to go. That’s when a group of transgender individuals saw me. They were kind to me — they hugged me, took me to their home, gave me food, clothes, and a place to sleep.
 
Slowly, I started living with them. Eventually, they took me to a doctor, and I underwent surgery to have my male genitalia removed. After that, they began to train me according to their ways. But deep down, I was not happy. I missed my parents terribly.
Now, my mother says I can come home — even if I return as a girl — and she promises to convince my father to accept me. But doctor sahib, the people I live with now force me to do many things I do not want to do. Please help me. Fix me. Save me.”
This is the summary of their story.
As Chairman of the Birth Defects Foundation and the Transgender Rehabilitation & Welfare Society — and as a psychologist — I want to convey an important message:
When a person, whether male or female, undergoes surgery to remove their natural sexual organs, they are left in a state where they are neither male nor female. This is a permanent change. Reversal is virtually impossible.
That’s why parents must be vigilant. If a boy starts behaving like a girl, or a girl starts behaving like a boy from an early age, immediately consult a qualified psychologist. In childhood and adolescence, this is often a treatable psychological condition.
Our organization, the Birth Defects Foundation, offers 100% free psychological counseling services for such cases. We are also working on a Rehabilitation and Empowerment Project, aimed at equipping members of the transgender community with skills that can help them earn a respectable livelihood.
Let’s work together to support and uplift the transgender community — with compassion, dignity, and sustainable solutions. Your support can be a form of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), the reward of which only Allah can truly grant.
