Being human is tough, both genders have their challenges! Transition is a hard process but it is beautiful and wonderful process too. Becoming who you want to be is never easy but always worth it.Originally Posted by TGMarla
Anyway there is a LOT of bad information on transsexuality. Google Harry Benjamin, he describes several different types of transsexual. one being the type you describe the rest having less sever symptoms of GID or having the GID come on at a later age. You may want to post this same question in the TS section of this forum, also CDing is NOT a prerequisite for transsexuality though most of us CDed to some extent or another.
Ask your self this: Do you want to be a woman at work?, at the grocery store?, in the mall shopping for christmas presents? (for other people not your self!), in the garden? at the auto parts store?, do you want to wait in that ridiculously long line for the bathroom at a concert or sporting event while the men simply walk in pee on the wall and walk out!? do you want to be a woman around your family? your wife? your wife's family? Are you willing to risk losing your job, wife, family, friends, etc. so that you can be a woman? If these thoughts and feelings are causing you that much distress its time to seek out a therapist versed in gender issues. that doesn't mean you have to DO anything but if your not just happy go lucky about CDing then there might be something else there. Personally I hated CDing it was a painful reminder of what I was not, a woman. Don't let gender identity and sexual orientation get all mixed up in your head. You may be a gay man you may be a hetero man you maybe a gay woman you may be a hetero woman you may just be a **** and sleep with the first person who says your pretty who knows but it doesn't matter who you sleep with, that has NOTHING to do with gender identity!
