You are not broken. The problem is that psychologists and therapists often go with what they were trained to believe rather than actually thinking about the contradictions. They are getting better but if you had seen, for example, the arguments as to definitions a few years ago you would realize that choosing a therapist needs to be done with care and with some knowledge of one’s own. Even today there are some who believe in ‘conversion therapy’ and other forms of psychological torture.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be feminine. Being feminine is a marvellous thing. Sometimes I think that not wanting to be feminine is indicative of something wrong. I mean, over half of the world population finds meaning and fulfillment in being feminine. How more normal can you get?
I am dreadfully sorry that you had to go through that at such a young age and I hope your recovery is complete.
Araminta.
