"Hello, I'm Dr. Bernice Bernhard, a New York State Licensed Psychologist, practicing here, in New York City. This segment is about how to handle the realization that you may be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered. Because they use the word realization in the question, my assumption is that this is something that's new. The first thing I would do, is get as much information as you can, on the internet, through books, any way that you can find out whatever questions you may have. Unfortunately, having done this research over many years myself, there's a great deal of literature available, and on the internet about most of these areas, but not being transgendered. I think that is just beginning to be opened up, unless you're somebody famous, I think most of this is kind of still kept under wraps, and maybe it's the next big coming out, but I would still urge you to get as much information as you can. The next thing you may want to do, is find a group of people, that are like you, and they will be able to give you a great deal of information as well. Finally, you may want to decide which family and which friends, you want to share this with. For many of you, sharing it with friends, will be much easier, than sharing it with family, so I would say do that first, but ultimately, all the people in your life, should know. This is nothing to hide. This is Dr. Bernice Bernhard."
