Tina, may we assume that you wish to be, or have become, a woman? If so, that would imply that you were born male and decided that God got it wrong. I can see where this might cause some conflict in your relationship with God.

The Bible looks at cross-dressing as a despicable thing (Deut. 22:5) because it seeks to deceive others. In those days, there were strict roles observed in society for men and women. To pretend to be someone out of the role expected would be deception -- a violation of the ninth commandment.

However, there is a role held by those called "eunuchs." These were men that are immune to sexual temptation toward women due to certain physical defects -- inborn, accidental or deliberate. Such served among women in official capacity. Though not the same as a transgendered person in the modern sense, such deliberate change is not forbidden outright. In fact, this could be said to be an honor (Matt. 19:12). Whether Jesus was speaking in a strictly positional sense (celibates) is up for question.

In your case, it seems that you feel that the deception on your part was, or is, maintaining an appearance of a man when you feel like a woman. If this has manifested itself in homosexual desire for men, then you may feel that it would be better to just be a woman. That probably will not end well, for the desire a man has for a woman is not easily fooled. Either way, there will be deception.

Biblically, becoming a eunuch would probably be an option. I would suggest that you seek professional help for this. As for taking on female appearance to escape your inner desires by embracing them, I see no Biblical grounds for such action.
