Here is interesting post by someone who has been through a great deal to become who they are today. I hadn’t thought of the issue of transition from this point of view, but reading this, I can understand how important answering this question can be.

Certainly something to ponder. I suppose the question becomes how much pain are we willing to suffer vs. how much potential pain are we willing to cause others? Are we willing to be our authentic selves if it means losing so much of what our lives have been up to this point? I don’t think there are any easy answers, and each person has to make his/her own decision.
I was thinking much the same. These things are so personal, it makes it difficult to really talk about.
I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like for you, but I am learning more as I read your blog.
That is one of the reasons I felt sharing was so important. We each have a unique story to tell and there is always something to be learned.
It seems the answer is between a rock and a hard place! Kira. I know you’ll do your best. You have approached this all intelligently, intellectually, not selfishly and with dignity.
Thank you Resa. There is so much which is challenging, confusing, and painful for all involved; but I think facing this head on, to refuse to take the easy way, will, in the end, lead me to becoming who I am meant to be with dignity and self respect.
I cannot expect a fairytale ending, but I would like for those around me to know they were always formost in my heart.
Understood! I’ve always been for you, and I still am!
Thank you
