Dear Dr Cath
I'M 36 and after years of denial, I came out as a gay transvestite eight years ago. My family have fully accepted me.
I live full-time as a woman and have found a man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to have a complete sex-change operation, but he is against it. I can't understand this as he loves me being feminine. I love him and don't want to lose him but feel the need to have the operation.

What would I do?
..... I DID!

Well I'm not sure I get why a "gay transvestite" would want to change sex?
If she means they're a gay couple, with her being just very effeminate, then of course the partner isn't going to want her to become a female. He may love her being feminine, but a gay man won't want her to be FEMALE. And I'm not sure why SHE would want to be female if she's really an effeminate gay man?
And if she's really a TS, then she may not have much choice. Her GID will dictate what she has to do to.
