I put a shortcut for it on my desktop so I can read it in the morning and I might just print it out for my SO to read as well.
Thanks a lot. From what I did read of it, it will be a very interesting read.

I have read this before and I totally agree. But what about us ? There has to be a balance for us CD/trans gender. My mental state was never good for years because I ignored who I am. The past six months have been good for us both. I was rough in the beginning but we are much closer now. Had I known thirty plus years ago this would not be going away, I would have told her before we got serious. I think we both now are experiencing unconditional love.

Interesting. When I read things like this, I want to either end my engagement, or kill myself. I'm not going to do either, so don't worry. I think that this wife doesn't understand just how much pain a TG person is in and has been in for however long they were in denial.

I read the article this afternoon and I can understand that transitioning has to effect everyone involved from your youngest brother/sister up to the grandparents as well as friends, employers and co-workers.
To think that it would only effect the one transitioning would be silly.
Not to say that it isn't a hard thing for the one transitioning to have had made the decision in the first place. It's hard on everyone, I'm sure.
