I am a young female.

When I was ten I watched a movie that had a pedophile as one of the antagonists. Later on I found that the movie allowed me to see flashes back into my past: it trigged memories. I hardly remember anything at all, but the answer that I was raped earlier on in my life, I remember a man.

As I was and am growing in the next few years, I meet this girl. Her and I became very close, and now we are a romantic couple. I had found my sexuality: bisexual. (We've been together for a year and one month.)

But soon after I realized I had no sexual attraction towards her or the female body in general. I am highly attracted to feminine attributes, but not to the body. But I still am attracted to males.

I was introduced to television, books, and movies with sexual content. Now that I was able to watch such things, without much stress as before. Finding sexual content with females disgusting, disturbing, and sickening. I could not handle it, only the male romantic relationships involving sexual acts I am able to be tolerant of.

That is how I've come to the conclusion: I feel as though I've been born in the wrong body. Ever since I was little I've never felt connected to my body, or truly recognized it as myself. Yet I still see myself as feminine and I love it when others are feminine: but the body I find disgusting.

I find it strange.

I don't understand why it's like this for me and what is the possible diagnosis If it was because of my traumatic experience, the introduction, or at birth?

As you know, there are people who decide to change over to the opposite sex. I really don't know what causes it. Some people say it's because the wrong brain is in the body--that is, for instance, you might have a brain that's more of a male brain.

I suggest you talk to a professional about this matter.
