Hello! I am a recent convert to Islam. (I have practiced for a while but I foolishly left). I have a question about making hajj. I am a transgender man. My physical sex is female, but my mind and heart are male. I believe Allah gave me this for a reason. Anyway, I was wondering if I would be able to make my pilgrimage. I am not sure about the law on transgender people in Saudi. I present completely as male, I have a deep voice/beard/etc.

Asalamualaikum sister,
You cannot change your chromosomes, nor your private parts. No mater how much hormones you take, you cannot change your sex. . Allah doesn't make mistakes, transition back and accept who you really are. There are females out there with beards but being male is beyond just having a beard and your physical appearance. It's on a psychological and biological level. It's best if you return back to female and make hajj.
