Gay man trapped in a woman's body
Does that even make sense? I mean, I'm a woman and currently in a relationship with a man. And that's fine by me. I'm attracted to men, but at the same time, I want to be a man. I've always been a bit of a tomboy and I'm not shy about a man's body at all or the way it works. These thoughts have been in my head for years now, this is the seventh year, but I'm not sure if I should act on this or find something to purge the thoughts. I've never told anyone this, not my family or my therapist. What should I do??

Why haven't you talked to your therapist about this? Who better to help you figure this out?

There's nothing wrong with being a tomboy and being a straight woman at the same time. My question would be: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY WANTING TO BE A MAN? would you like to have a man's sexual organs? If that is your actual wish,then I think it's high time you went to your theapist.

This is not the type of question any of us can really help you with. Since you are already seeing a therapist I would suggest that this is something you explore with your therapist.
If for some reason you are uncomfortable exploring this issue with your current therapist then I suggest you seek out a therapist skilled in this area.
You are not the first man to feel as you do. You are not gay you are possibly transgender. What you need to explore with a therapist skilled in this area is what those feelings mean to you.
Are you a woman trapped in a man's body? Yes, it happens and doctors now realize it. If so do you want to anything about it? Meaning do you want to go through gender reassignment surgery? If so a good therapist can help you with this.
It is not easy to transgender. There is at least two years of psychotherapy and you have to live as a women during that time. You will have to take female hormones for the rest of your life. Once you start to take the female hormones your breast will enlarge. At this point you might be called a shemale as you would start to look like a female but have the sex organs of a male.
At this point if you still prefer women over men you might be considered gay. It would also be at this point time to start deciding whether you would want to complete the crossover with the final gender reassignment surgery; where they would use your penis to make a vagina for you.
As I said this process takes at least 2 years and you need I believe two psychiatrist to approve of the transgendering should you want to make the body transformation. It is expensive and it is not without health risks. So you really need to explore this with a competent therapist before you start down this road.
