One of big hinderances to transition seems to be the "loss" aspects. "Be prepared to lose everything"... Is a common statement made on these boards. We move forward knowing that there is a distinct possibility of these losses could very well happen. There is a lot of emphasis put on this when someone says.. I want to transition.
Should the threat of these losses be of any less concern to a wife who may in fact lose her husband, father to her children, the possible loss of family and friends? The possible loss of his income? Some people act like it shouldn't be a big deal for their wife or SO to accept, but are themselves scared s*****ss at the prospect, so much so that they stay in limbo.
