You are absolutely correct, the former WPATH and DSM-IV treatment protocols are far too narrow. Fortunately, they were adopted over ten years ago, and are now about to be revised to support a much wider spectrum of non-binary gender identities. It's taken this long for the psychiatric and medical communities to collectively recognize there is a larger range of gender expression than simply either/or. The new protocols aren't perfect, but they are immensely better. Now, if only I could get my spouse to allow me more freedom of expression.

Caith721 (imported) wrote: Sat Sep 17, 2011 9:09 am Yup, she's a natal woman, and only believes in the dichotomy/binary roles of man/woman. She also cannot separate her concept of our marriage from my individual gender identity. She refuses to live with me in a female role, because she doesn't want to be seen as a lesbian.

mynhii85 (imported) wrote: Sat Aug 27, 2011 9:45 pm Well, I identify myself as a homosexual man whose gender expression tends to lean more towards feminine side. That feminine side is not strong enough to make me want to live my life as a woman but make me desire to have a "small" female sex characteristic. I don't want an exact vagina; I don't want my penis to be cut; I only want to have my testicles gone and an orifice created under my scrotal area. What am I? Absolutely not a transwoman or a bi-gender person. I'm only a man whose femininity wants be recognized on the body.

If I'm not a freak, I'm probably the weirdest amongst transgendered people assuming that transgender is an appropriate label on me.

I'm gay, but if I happen to love a woman some day, I won't get panic. Every person has a limit of tolerance. Maybe accepting your identity is one thing; physically wanting you is another. Probably your wife is in a dilemma. I sincerely hope that she can sort out everything with you
