writes:My girlfriend and I have been together for almost two years now. When we first got together she informed me that at birth she had no sex, she believes that her parents chose the wrong sex. She is attracted to woman, she is more masculine, and does have hormonal imbalences. However, she looks at the situation so negitivly. On top of that, her famly is very unsupportive of being a lesbian. How do I boost her low self esteem? I want her to feel beautiful but her mindset is horrible.

 I would look into finding her a support group. This is something she will have to work through herself, but you can of course support her with all the love you have in you :)

 My best guess is just to give her love and tell her that you love her and make her feel worth stuff. Just be there for her and tell her you support her.

 I find it so heartbreaking to hear that a family who made a decision for that baby to be a boy or a girl, now is unsupportive of that child when they find out that their choice was incorrect.
Honest, non-judgmental expression of her feelings will help to figure out what exactly she is insecure about.
Your role is to be there and give her support, because it's hard to heal from within when there is no support from the outside.
Read a lot of self-help books on self esteem together and talk about different techniques that she can work on.

 I agree with the other answer, all you can do is be there for her and support her, she needs to do the rest for herself. Professional help sounds like a good idea, you could go with her to be supportive and so she knows that you care.

 Am afraid she can only help herself, all you can do is try to be there to support her and to listen to her and also to compliment her. Maybe she should go and talk to a professional because it sounds like she is very lost at the moment. So I think you should suggest to her to talk to someone and be there to support her.
