If you have really made up your mind that you don't want to grow up to be a woman, and you don't find the need to, then maybe it is ok if you are still a child. And if everyone around is doesn't expect you to grow up, then I think it is acceptable.
But if you feel you want to be treated like a woman - by your husband, and your child and others, then you will have to somehow convince yourself to atleast try it.
Maybe you can try it little by little... Try to be a woman one week in therapy, and then go back to being child for 2 weeks, then try one more week. ? Will that work and give you slow exposure with the comfort of your therapist? You don't have to do it anywhere else, but just in yoru therapy room, you can try to visualize yourself as being a full woman?
