Something I would like to try and understand better is how as an individual when you have transitioned you reconcile this with your past. Are you proud of your past and your past achievements? How do you view accolades that may have been given to you in a role that you feel was a facade, a show? Did you sever all your ties to a previous life? How does it make you feel if you meet someone who knew you before you transitioned? Do you mind if people ask you about your life and if they know you have transitioned about your life before you transitioned? Do you think people ask those (or these!) questions out of genuine interest or do you think they are just gossiping?
I'm not trying to be rude or attacking, just questions that I had thought of.
