I'm currently working on my MA linguistic thesis that deals with narratives of people suffering from Sexual Orientation Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (SO-OCD or also called HOCD). My aim is to do a corpus analysis and critical discourse analysis of these narratives and compare them to coming out narratives of self-identified gay people. My aim is to explore if both groups share some similarities or if there are differences.
Have a look on the Researchgate profile of Monnica Williams and colleagues. They published recently a few papers about this topic.

Elvis, you might find my recently posted article to be of use on "A Universal Case for the Non-Gender Specific Restroom" in my papers in ResearchGate. There are some resources I give concerning LGBT issues and their struggles. Of note, I found that the changing text of the APA (American Psychological Association) manual regarding the renaming of "gender identity disorder" to "gender dysphoria" tried to minimize the condition in the "Manual Of Mental Disorders" (DSM-5) yet maintained the condition as a disorder so that treatment could still be given. How would that treatment of the condition affect those who are involved? I hope this will help.
Hi Elvis, my colleague (Monnica Williams) and I have published a few things in this area. There is not a lot of research out there. We both are involved treating OCD as well. Let me know if you have more specific questions or if I could be helpful.
