Transsexual Self Harm
Posted: 01-11-08 05:27am

Self harming is quite common among some transsexuals for a variety of reasons, lack of emotional support, the abuse we non convincing TS get from the general public, often leading to threats and actual physical attack.

Loss of family can also add to the worries and anxieties of the transitioning individual.

Transsexuals need emotional back up

iv'e done a lot of research on gender identity issues, and those facing the transgendered population. You are absolutely right:self harm (in addition to many other psychological issues) support is very much needed in this often misunderstood community. If you ever need to talk, im hear to listen.
