I came out 7 years ago. Through therapy did I realize that I was a person who all my life had lived with what is called gender disorder. I don't see myself as a person with a disorder however. I think I am totally whole and beautifull as I am. I cannot live completely as free as I would like to because I am married but I do have a lot of freedom and do dress every evening at home. I am all in all pretty happy with my life and situation. I sometimes feel the lack of "time out" because my partner cannot accept me as a woman in public together with her. I do however understand that problem. I believe I would have a hard time with that myself if the table was turned. How long have you been "out" and are you OK about the situation you have to deal with every day?
