Escape!

Escape!I wanted to check this website when a friend told me about it and about how she met a woman in the process of having sex-change change operations. I was wondering if she/he had the same sort of father issues or addiction background that I find with porn addicts and other kinds of sex addiciton issues.

On her website: www.jennibrown.net

you can read that I'm not the first to ask this question:

"Only a handful of specialists in this country are approved to make the diagnosis of GD. They must be consultant psychiatrists with many years experience of Gender conditions. They have to rigorously apply a set of international standards of care guidelines. One section of those guidelines, dealing with diagnosis, specifies that the possibility of certain conditions MUST be eliminated before a diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria can be made.

These conditions include Mental illness and certain non-specific disorders including "psychosis or fantasy related to escapism". Due to my reluctance to accept the diagnosis I have seen 3 such specialists supported by 2 consultant psychotherapists all of whom are unanimous that whilst certain events were significant in allowing the re-emergence of GD there is no element of escapism whatsoever. I would add, given questions asked about a conflict with my Christian faith, one of these specialists was also an anglican priest."

So, the experts already know to look into whether the person seeking Gender Reassignment is looking for an Escape, which is exactly what myself and so many other porn addicts are also doing.

p.s. I wish Jenni all God's grace and peace for her future.
