Here I take a less general approach. I will try to use my own more transsexual/body-related experiences to walk you through this.
People have told me "I can't really imagine being in that situation of wanting to change my sex."
I think that most people can. It's just that most people overlook that they have an internal identity that is harmonious with their body.
So don't imagine wanting to change from how you are to how you're not. Don't try to imagine going away from your sex. Instead, imagine going the other way, towards yourself. Imagine being who you are now, but with the body of the wrong sex. Imagine being far away from your current sex, and thinking about going home.
In the following, I am not speaking for everybody. I am tryning to give you one example.
Right? Let's go.
