Wow, that is heavy. Elementary you say? Well there goes the phase idea I reckon and quite possibly any chance of this being a sub conscious reaction to something. I think wanting to be the opposite gender is somewhat outside of the realm of chemical imbalances. Then again, my field of expertise is business, and not psychology or chemistry so I'm grasping at straws here. Alas I don't have the will to ponder this at 3:33 am, hittin the hay, and thinking about it over breakfast

Erm... CD, if you have an imaginated alternative personality / image of yourself you call Sarah, then I think you might want to consult a psychologist to clear that up. I don't want to come over rude, but if you two only let inexperiences people over the internet help you instead of professionals, that might not work out in the end and maybe even leave you insane. I'd say get professional help to help you accept yourself and then make the others accept you as you are. You accept them as they are, don't you ? Again, sorry if I come over rude, but I have my own experiences with bottled up emotions / problems - and according to my therapist, I have extremely overloaded emotional shields, meaning that I may become emotionless.

YAY FOR EMOTIONLESSNESS !

And I don't think a gender-change operation would resolve that. I think it's more a crisis with your inner self and identification and less body then mind. Was it always "painful" or did that just pop up ? If it'd been an issue your whole life, get help. It won't help anyone if oyu continue to rock back and forth without a solution and in the end when you finally do something, maybe even something radical, and everyone is shocked and says "WE DIDN'T KNOW - WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON ?"

Maybe it's all puberty messing with your brains. Maybe it's causing it, maybe it's amplifying it or letting it out. Maybe it's something else.

But get help. It works, I can say.

Obviously if we... as in CD and I wanted to undergo something drastic, As I like to call it, the final surgery, we would have to undergo an evaluation period where we would end up having to live. as women for a span of I believe 2 years in most places, even then a psychiatrist would have to give us the final thumbs up before we had that done.

Regardless we do need professional help, we both understand that. and we intend to seek it, before we do anything that will drastically alter our body's.

to clear some things up, we are both young adults. Another thing. as CD wished on the dandelions, I wished on every star in the cosmos, for as long as I can remember. we did not just wake up one day thinking "I want to be a girl" this is not for fun, this is how things are.

It's not a matter of not knowing who we are, Its a matter of not being who we are.... And if we choose to, as individuals, we may have to change.

I suppose because Sarah came forward with her name, I will also come forward with mine.

I am Fayth.

This name is not my birth name, this is not another personality, This name belongs to me. Even with out this name I would still be who I am on the inside... I am sick of hiding who I am on the inside. We are sick of hiding our selfs.

It's a little bit weird, really. One of M'aiq's friends on the only other forum he visits...well...did the same thing. Seems like these thing follow the forums M'aiq visits.

It's one thing to say you're girly in nature, but it's another to actually say you want to be a girl. While M'aiq finds this idea disturbing, he has no say is what either of your final decisions are. You are free to do as you wish, and M'aiq believes that most of the people here will still accept you either way.

Of course I am going to seek professional help... I never said that I wouldn't... and really, we're coming clean here and being honest about who we are because it is at least one step towards coming out in the open, if only through one medium, among one community... somehow, it's harder offline. You can see the look on their faces as they either accept or reject you when you tell them IRL, hear them respond seriously, or take the whole thing as some sort of joke... and I suppose it's difficult to be taken seriously sometimes. I'm still too afraid, too spineless to tell even my parents about how I feel.
