Answer
Hi Kristie

I do not know how old this question was but I seem to recall someone with the same name, age and partner profile asked a question or two back in late May 07.

If this is indeed you, I am sorry to read you are still having issues that seem unresolved.

Perhaps you might find doing the Cogiati Test of some help to you? :

It is clearly not an absolute test though it might help to reassure you of your feelings, but trying to deny those feelings is not a good thing at all and it could make matters worse.

The Cogiati Test can be taken here:

http://transsexual.org/TEST0.html

Indeed, the entire site should be of help to you:

http://transsexual.org

If I can be of any more help, please reply to me in the dedicated section where you can also browse past answers.
