My TG girlfriend belongs to a conservative church. She tried working with a church-sanctioned therapist in an attempt to "cure" herself, and she did this for four years. My GF wanted to save her marriage and renounce her female self, but it was not something that she could will to happen. Fighting against one's own nature is a very painful thing.I tried for the thousandth time to just make all this go away but if I don't dress or do something to escape being male several times a week I get feeling like a spring ready to break
I don't know what it is like as a life-long struggle, as many on here have had, but I do know that when I became aware that it was a problem for me, it was a torture to hold it back while I figured out what I would do. I would never want to go through eight months like that again.
Keep checking in with us from time to time, Jill.
