Title: Getting OCD about being Transgender
Post by: Gulistani248 on November 22, 2017, 09:28:53 PM
Hello,

Recently I've been very obsessive about whether I'm actually Transgender or not.  I keep having obsessive fears that I'm not really innately desiring to be female, and that this is all just a farce.

I just don't know what to do, and I fear that I'll never work these things out with my gender therapist....

This was my huge fear about 3 months ago, and my big issue I wanted to address starting therapy. I thought I was convincing myself of something that wasn't true. I finally bought some clothes and makeup, took a look in the mirror and could say (with a huge smile on my face) "Oh, nope... this is definitely real". I don't know that there is an easy answer to finding peace of mind with this issue, unfortunately. I feel like it may be something that you have to find your answer for organically, be it in therapy or just by doing something like spending time dressed, or whatever you think may be your answer.

But, the good news is, you aren't alone in those fears by any means!

Time to get the old simple reliable test out. There is a button in front of you and if you pass it you will be transformed into a female. Would you press it? If you would press it, yes you are transgender.
