Here's an article written by a post op TS. It's one person's account of what it's been like to transition. I wouldn't take this to be something everyone transitioning will encounter but it does have some realities that those considering transitioning might want to consider.
Also, don't take her descriptions of TV, CD & TG to be accurate. I've read many books by experts and was in therapy with one and they all agree on pretty similar descriptions of the other categories of the gender continuum but none describe them as the author of this article does. So take her descriptions only as personal opinion.
