"The thing is about being stealth, it means you deny an essential part of your past. In the past you denied who you really were for the longest time. Now that you figured it out you are going back to denying, but this time denying who you had been. Some may call it avoidance, but the difference it subtle."
I hear this sentiment a lot on this forum. I think it speaks from inexperience.
Do you really think that those who go through ALL the pain, expense, and heartbreak of transition do so to become "trannies"? I think not. They do so to become WOMEN! Holding on to your past means holding on to the fact that you were once a man. On the surface, that seems OK. But I can assure you that once someone knows you were once a man, they will NEVER look at you as a woman, EVER!
Just what do you expect from transition? If you transition to become a tranny, then OK. But transition to become a woman means withholding your past from general knowledge. Women just were NOT ever men in the eyes of most of the population. I am sorry, but this is fact.
