Abstract
In the modern era, gender differences are still polemic in society. Many people feel they have the right to change gender. A person who makes efforts to change sex is called a transsexual. This study aims to explore the Muslim community who decide to become transsexual. This study used a qualitative descriptive method involving 3 Muslim participants who decided to become transsexual. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data collection is done online and offline. The data was analyzed through four stages, namely data collection, data presentation, data reduction, and conclusion. The results of this study indicate that the reasons for being transsexual are because of the economy, comfort, and trauma. While related to the impacts are being a minority, experiencing bullying, and confusion in efforts to worship. In terms of feelings, the participants felt both positive and negative things after deciding to become transsexual.
