Girl attracted to the same gender

Q: If a girl has been behaving like a boy naturally since birth, she has a strong fear of Allah and a desire to walk according to Islam. She tried to correct herself and did everything that girls do, but it didn't make any difference and she is still attracted to girls. All of this is natural for her. She has now decided to seek medical help and undergo hormone therapy because she is not getting better despite waiting and trying. She has a strong hatred for LGBTQ. She also visited a doctor and the doctor said to them, do a harmons therapy. Please give me answer what should they do?

A: She should understand or be made to understand that the feelings within her are a creation of her mind. Hence, she should sincerely turn to Allah Ta'ala and beg Him to forgive her for her wrongs and bless her with the tawfeeq of remaining on the pure, unadulterated path of deen.

She should observe strict purdah with the opposite gender and she should not look at or read any literature which can influence her heart and mind towards this filthy, alien, kuffaar culture of LGBTQ.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
