It is important for you to decide whether you are completely prepared to examine your gender issues. We take our commitment to help you explore your options very seriously, and we expect honesty and responsibility in return. |
Your options are many. Having considered the material contained in this site, you may:
- Schedule individual meetings to help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, before deciding on a long-term plan;
- Pursue counseling, hormone therapy, and reassignment surgery;
- Transition gender role without reassignment surgery (hormones optional);
- Reach peace simply by dressing in your chosen gender some of the time and perhaps seeking a peer-support social group. (The Crystal Club in Columbus maintains a list of Midwest clubs and peer groups here.);
- Schedule counseling sessions for post-transition and/or post-op issues.
It is not uncommon for people to start the program but then quit one or more times — often coming back after having worked through doubts.
We encourage and welcome all such processing: needless to say, we want you to confront your doubts sooner rather than later.
