How to get things going?
I would like to start seening a therapist,to see what she would think the best actions for me to do.
I know I am and allways have been " a female forced to be a male".Between nature and family I had no other opition to be a male.After being with my soon to be wife for three years now I got up the nerve to tell it all.It didn't phase her on bit.She said she knew it all along because the way ack and do things.She also said she loves me so much and wants me to be the real me and not someone esle that is expeted from others.Plus I think it really turned her on, me wanting to be a female.
So i have her support and her shulder to cry on and help me throw this.But i need to talk to a professional about it to.To see what is the next step.I want out of this body I see in the mirror every day,it's not the real me.
So what i need is; where do i get help at?
I've never been to a therapist in my whole life so I don't know what to do?
I live in Ohio between dayon and cincinntii,and would like to go to someone close"within an hours drive" to me if at all possible?
