I tried the same "test" and came up as a late developing Transexual[ if I recall the terms coreccetly] and I was left thinking "what the shit?". I have known I was transexual, since I was 6; just because I managed to supress it for 54 years, through sheer willpower, does that make me any the less a transexual. I grew up in a loving home,with succesfull parents, but with a great bias to comformity; that has made me who I am. My gut reaction was to conform; had I grown up in a Bohemian household, I may well have come out years ago. Equally, had I grown up in a disfunctiounal family, I would be in prison &/or under psychiatric care.
Only you know if you are transexual. This is a medical condition; your brain and body do not match and no outside pressure, or diagnonis will change that and it cannot be proved, short of an autopsy. To be swayed in what you know to be true, by outside pressures, is a sure fire route to mental health problems.
I urge you all to listen to Ipm [ Saturday 17.30 to 18.00 on radio 4 ] over the next few weeks. There shoud be a slot that will give great succour to many of you.
