Chelsea, your struggle seems to be at a very acute stage and time will tell which path you ultimately choose (or which path will choose you). And while I understand what you are saying about transition seeming to be selfish and that you are doing what you are doing for the sake of your wife and child, I'm sure you don't intend that the opposite POV be conveyed. Transition is not inherently selfish and under your circumstances (or under mine), it is not to suggest that those who make the decision to transition are thinking any less of their families.

Instead, transition (or not to do so) is a very personal endeavor that should consider all variables in one's life. Making a personal & informed decision is not by definition selfish.

I'm glad to see you are back here communicating again Chelsea.
