I feel like I'm missing something... I should have a therapist..? (No: thank you, I'd rather have the money... )
There are far worse things in life than wanting to make oneself look beautiful, dress as a female, or simply achieve some degree of personal satisfaction (!)... and that does not make anyone ill, sick or perverted!!
I like Amanda's quote - there's a lot that eastern philosophy can teach us about coming to terms with ourselves, unfortunately the western world is quite angst-ridden and materialistic: hard measures of success; you will fit in this square hole!
It's a shame that more professional therapists and counsellors don't support changing this but they all have one eye on their bank account...
And now that you know you're not ill - you can switch off therapy! :yahoo:
