My therapist keeps warning me about the rejection I’m likely to face whenever I go ahead with transition. I’m very curious to learn about the experiences of those who have already transitioned or are in the process of doing so. Did you face rejection at any point? What level? From being misgendered, to snide comments or looks from strangers, from family/friends, to potentially verbal abuse by strangers, any incidents of something worse?
On the family side, any success stories of transitioning with the support of your wife? I believe I may have to get my head around the likelihood that many friends will likely reject Carolina. I may have to develop thick skin to endure that. But I just hope my grown up kids will be able to cope with my potential transitioning. How do you deal with the potential rejection of your kids? Of your wife?
I’m curious and afraid at the same time...
