Sorry, I don’t think I quite understand what you are asking.
There are four vocations recognized by the Church:

Hey now, what’s wrong with that link being to a Canadian site? If it’s orthodox and useful information then who cares if it’s from Canada, France or wherever else?
There are other forms of consecrated life than being a religious. A person could become a diocesan hermit, a consecrated virgin, or a consecrated widow (I’m not sure if eastern Catholics have that last vocation but eastern orthodox certainly do).

Nothing wrong with it being Canadian, I’m Canadian myself! The original poster is from the Philippines, so I just wanted to emphasize it’s worth looking at even though it may not be where he/she’s from. Some people might see the “.ca” and think it might not be relevant to them but I wanted to address that before anyone disregards it.

Hey fellow canuck!!! Salut from Hamilton diocese.
The other day I was at a talk by a permanent deacon and he talked about his vocation, and it is pretty amazing. He is beyond cool. Married, and is sent by the bishop to work with the poor, and he serves Mass and gives homilies sometimes too. Now THAT is a one cool vocation.

It could be said that there is one universal vocation and call and that is to holiness. Any further call (which may or may not occur) is the route to take to holiness. And not to forget that the laity is a state of life in The Church covered by Canon Law vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__PV.HTM

“How many vocation callings are there? Is there really a Single blessedness?” I think is what they’re trying to communicate.
The number of vocational callings have already been listed.
I have known persons called to the single life. Wherever God wants you will give a sense of peace and interior stability. If you’re more at peace being single, then pursue that.
Blessings,

I’ve just written a post on my blog, which is linked in the signature, give it a read and have a search around for a bit more information, too, the article on my blog is mainly about feeling the single vocation and celibacy in other vocations. Feel free to message me for any questions!

I’m not at peace with the single life. Yet, I may be stuck with single life, because I’m gay… therefore marriage is definitely out. And, its starting to look more and more like priesthood/ religious life are also out of reach for me.
I feel consigned to a vocation which is thought of so highly in the Catholic Church, that its members question whether it even exists… like the OP. Woe is me

the church teaches that those with ssa are to remain celibate. i think now that we have direction from rome on the subject, that secular institutes could be created for the sake of those with ssa.
you could also consider third orders/oblatures/lay associates.
the only things transgenders could do are oblatures – offering of oneself.
google ‘marie mediatrice’ and see if there is any spiritual attraction. i prefer the teal one.
