It probably doesn't feel like it to you, right now, but actually that sounds quite hopeful to me, for several reasons:
1) At least you've started to try to explain how you feel and put her misconceptions straight and is sounds as though she is willing to listen.
2) Bryony has pointed you to the Anne Vitale papers. I understand ( we probabaly all do) that you saying " I want to be a woman" is a blanket statement to try to vocalise that internal drive and one that many of us have made over the years, but you need to ask your self this question," Do I want to BE a woman or do I feel that I AM a woman?". In other words, is it that you simply feel better with feminine things or do you believe you are in the wrong body and have a need to progress towards chopping things off?
From what you've said so far it sounds to me as though you are in the first category and not a closet TS, but correct me if I'm wrong.
If I'm right, Welcome to the 'Inbetweenies!!

In which case the Vitale theory may well fit you and PM may be the answer. We have all found that taking PM ( and other herbs) with the aim of growing boobs has, as a side effect, caused a significant lessening of the need for other feminisation and certainly for many also eliminates much of the mental confusion and anxiety. A word of caution though, for a few it also brings out pre-existing latent TS tendancies and they then feel a need to go 'all the way'.
