I believe in karma because I'm Buddhist. Karma simply means that if you do something, then there is a consequence for it. Whether it is good or bad is simply how you perceive it. Typically, doing something "good" will have "good" consequences (and same goes with "bad" and neutral actions) but it is all subjective to the person who experiences it. In other words, just because you do something that you deem "good", doesn't necessarily mean that what you get in return will be within your definition of "good". This applies to "bad" actions and neutral ones too.

As someone who believes in karma, I do not see how your example is relevant to the question. Your question is simply wondering how many people believe in karma and it should have ended there. The example you gave out does not support your question nor does it help the reader understand further by what you mean. The only thing that it provides the reader is how intolerant you are and how you lack an understanding of karma. First off, just because there is something that you don't like, doesn't mean that it is automatically "bad" in this whole scheme of karma so I don't see the reason why this male should be worried. Second of all, karma doesn't "get" you for doing certain things. In fact, karma doesn't actually do anything. In Buddhist teachings, karma is the name for the natural law of give and take and balance in the universe. Lastly, it is not your place to judge a person for his or her actions unless it is somehow doing you or the people around them harm. A male pretending to be a female is none of your concern. Yeah, you may see it as "weird" or "strange" or "not normal" but so what? It's his life, he has no intention of bothering you, and no one is getting hurt by his actions.
