So I've been in transition for a few years. I just upped my medication and I find myself struggling with feeling fem. I find myself worndering if I'm too country that it just comes off wrong. I've become very critical of my body. This has put me in a depressive state. Am I alone in this if not that how did you get through it.
Thank you
Demi:
Gender is a bit convoluted. It isnβt like you can pick up a book and a couple of hours later, youβve got it sorted out. Iβd like to say that it works that way, but clearly it does not. However, on the bright side, many here have found it useful to work with a therapist. When we think about our gender identity, or our sexuality, it isnβt easy to consider these things as they have the power to bring about MAJOR changes in our lives. These issues can be wrapped in great fear and worry and that can make it difficult for us to focus on them. A therapist can help to maintain the focus on these issues as we work through them and improve our understanding of what is going on. But, it is important to find a therapist with experience in gender issues as everyone does not have this background or interest.
