Can a trans woman who doesn’t believe yet keep attending the mosque?

Assalamu alaikum. I’m a trans woman, but I was born male. When I go to the mosque, I dress and present as a man to respect Islamic guidelines. I’m not ready to consider converting-honestly, I’m not sure I ever will. Still, something in me feels really drawn to the mosque. Just being there gives me a sense of calm, especially listening to the Quran and the prayers. I enjoy speaking with the imam too. I love a lot about Islam, but my lack of belief and being trans makes conversion unlikely right now. So, is it okay for me to keep coming to the mosque? I’ll stop if it’s seen as disrespectful.

Sis, the mosque is for everyone seeking peace. Just keep dressing modestly as you do, no one will question. May Allah guide your heart-you're already halfway there.

I get you. I'm a revert and it took years. Just being there is a big step. Keep that connection, inshallah it'll blossom.

Honestly, your respect for the space speaks volumes. Keep coming, listen to the Quran, let it heal you. Faith isn't always instant.
