It suggests how easy it is to put tremendent positive effects into the lives and minds of people who encounter gender problems. It reminds me of cognitive therapy championed by author David Burns.

I agree wholeheartedly that being transgendered, ambigendered, or transsexual requires self-acceptance as the first step. It simply won't go away and it will manifest itself in some way. Even if completely repressed the anger and self-hatred resulting from the repression will come out inevitably.

I continue to hide my inner girl from most of the world, but I no longer deny her to myself. The denial was eating me up inside and I was close to collapse and potentially harming my dear ones.<BR/><BR/>Embracing her is a longer process than I would like, but rushing things would not be good either.
