I'm on a very strong road to recovery of hocd and I can tell you I've never really been confused about what I liked. It's always been women. I wasn't able to get nocd treatment but I've gotten treatment plans from other sources. For me the road is still going but i can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I’m a little different, I had TOCD (transgender themed OCD) and I recovered. I don’t really think about my gender identity all that much, but I’m still not 100% certain about it which doesn’t bother me at all. It just doesn’t cross my mind most of the time and the thought is never intrusive. I know it’s not a bad thing now
You see for me it's kinda the same way. I never thought about my sexuality till hocd and it took some time to really understand what was going on. Like i didn't know straight guys can find other dudes attractive. Like that was a huge struggle for me but once I got passed it, it doesn't affect me.
@tobious Glover I’m so happy you got past it!! More power to you! I was the same - I didn’t really realise that women could have masculine traits without being transgender! I’m so comfortable with my gender now and am comfortable acting in ways I want and wearing whatever I want :)
