Hi Pat.
I’m so glad you wrote to me because you’re obviously hurting and feeling isolated. Well there’s no need for that because there are lots of supportive groups out there which can provide you with information and support.
You may or may not be transgender. That's for you to decide after careful evaluation. It may just be that you're a very male-define woman who loves women--a "butch Lesbian."
We now know that our gender identity is essentially set at around age 2, right about the time we begin talking. Thus, most transgendered people have known their genders for quite a long time. And gender has nothing to do with sexuality, although many people erroneously link the two. Our gender identity isn’t dependent on the sex of our desired partner, but is rather our profound sense of who we are—either masculine or feminine.
I encourage you to learn more about gender issues, as well as those of sexual orientation. There are many helpful sites. The first one “FTM International,” has been very helpful to many.

The most important thing is for you to reach out and connect with others so you can build friendships and relationships. Be proud of who you are, and don’t let anyone tell you you’re not OK! Best of luck to you. Dr. J

Have you had sex yet? They say everybody is BI to some extent or another but.. Actually dreaming of penetration is actually less a being male fantasy and more of a power fantasy.
To be the receiver in the sexual act is to feel that you are giving up power or of yourself until you can get your mind around that you would have trouble adapting or feeling satisfied even if you had a pertner who let you use a strapon

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
