If I could give just one word of advice, don't ever let anyone else tell you what you are.

If you can get the cash together then I recommend Dr. James Kelly. A lovely guy, albeit very professional, and his prices, at least from what I've heard, are more economical than the other people who are qualified to diagnose you with G.I.D. However I'd personally recommend some soul searching first to decide if you're really transsexual and want to continue. At the end of the day we know who we are better than any professional.

Hi, I'm Ben and it was me who gave Deirdre the online resources to pass on to you.
I have always hated the expression "not trans enough". You are as trans or not as YOU say you are, nobody else can dictate that to you! I agree with everything that's been said above about dictating your own labels but I do think it can be helpful to have people to vocalise it with as a method of getting things straight in your own head. I strongly recommend you try out the Yay for Queers irc channel as there are a huge number of people with various identities on there that will be happy to discuss thing with you and let you vent about what's going on in your head.
Also, i second Wonderfulname's suggestion of T-Vox. it's a fantastic resource that I forgot to mention to Deirdre. Check it out.
also if you would like to talk to me directly, I man the Cork trans support line 0851083935 feel free to give a call or text.
Hope that helps
