Hi, I posted about this before, but then my fears went away when I decided I was just being silly, they stayed away for several weeks then came back, so let me try again but explain myself better as I think my earlier explaination was poor.
I stumbled across some information on the internet about transsexuality: specifically that transsexuals are sometimes in denial about their identity for a long time. I began to panic, worrying that I could be transsexual. Here's why:
- I have a sexual fetish for wearing a bra (this is a sexual thing only I assumed was simply a tranvestic fetish and nothing more)
- I have an obsession with women to the point I consider them better than me
- I am occationally curious about what it would be like to be a woman
- I prefer some steriotypical female things over some steriotypical male things
I should point something out though. Until I began researching online, none of the above bothered me too much, it's stuff I'd accepted as part of who I am and I had NO thought of being transsexual. I am also a hypochondriac, I self-diagnose and spend a lot of time reading about things online and worrying that I have them (like Cancer) then I post on forums looking for more information and ask around about symptoms etc.
I managed to calm down for several weeks deciding it was nothing, just my hypochondria. But then I stumbled across a blog post by a trans woman about trans issues, which set me off on more research and thinking about more things about myself and I fell back in to anxiety.
So which am I? Transexual in denial... or simply transvestic fetish + other odd traits blown all out of proportion by hypochondria?
