FtM switching back

Postby AZSam » Sun Apr 17, 2011 3:12 am

I've lived as a man for 20 years. I always thought there was no treatment for my gender dysphoria. I thought my gender identity was fixed male because of a sexual assault at a very early age. I thought it occurred at 2.5yrs old, but it turns out it was at 3.5yrs old, the significance of this is that my gender identity fixed female not male and the gender dysphoria developed as a result of the assault. I did go thru therapy before transitioning but it obviously didn't uncover the truth.

Here's my problem:

I no longer suffer from gender dysphoria and my gender identity has returned to being female. Unfortunately, I'm living as a man. I thought it was bad before when I was living as a women with a male gender identity, but this is worse! I'm a biological female with a female gender identity stuck living as a man.

I know I need to switch back, but the costs and everything else that would have to happen is overwhelming. Are there any charities that would be willing to help financially with the transition back? I'm looking for any help regarding resources available to help with this issue and wanting to know if anyone has been through this or knows someone who has, who I can talk to. I'm trying to keep the depression out but it's all very overwhelming and it's becoming harder and harder to deal with everything.

AZSam, maybe your therapist could help you again and you could try living as a woman for a while and then decide. This must be really hard for you, you shouldn't go through it alone.

You should try to rent or buy the documentary "Almost Myself" (some of it may be on YouTube also). A part of it is also about someone (a male-to-female, though) who after 20 years decided he no longer felt female and returned to living as a male. They show his entire process and how he was able to raise money for reversal surgeries. (It was a religious charity, however).
