Self acceptance: Many people with awareness of lgbtq issues have a great deal of self-hatred & shame from internalized self-judgments that may come from family, school, peers, religion etc. A good therapist can help you w/ these feelings of self-loathing & accept all of yourself. "reprogramming" generally does not work, & the feelings r suppressed but come back out of control later making u feel even worse.

To Be or Not to Be: ...Urseif: if the gender w/which u identify doesn't match the gender u were assigned at birth, life can b very complicated. Coming out & living ur life as ur affirmed gender can create conflicts & problems. But not coming out & not living ur life as ur affirmed gender can also create terrible conflict & inner turmoil. A 2010 survey of trans-identified people in us found 41% have attempted suicide.
