Reply To: ever doubted you were transgender?

[Heather Harrison]

Annette,

Thanks for your response, as your experience mirrors my own. Like you, played dress up when I was young, snuck my mom’s bras and panties to wear, and no dating during high school. I was always more comfortable with girls than with guys, and hated sports.

I’m currently in therapy with a transgender counselor in order to find out if I’m truly transgender or not.

I have a question I’ll just throw out there: How many of us were abused as children? Sexually or otherwise? I’ve been wondering if that has a bearing on why I am the way I am.
