Yes, I was just making parallels with homosexuality.
Still, it seems that helping her means discovering ways for her to be herself while being safe, rather than change who she is.
Regarding research - there is not enough research to date. Try searching PubMed but I doubt that a lot will pop up in search. It is a very marginalized practice. Research usually goes, first, to address big market issues. Say, there is a lot of drug development for ED. Why? A concern for a lot of people. Big market. And here - there probably is some purely academic research only. Purely academic.
