Im sure I can't be the only one who feels this way, but as of right now I have 0 intention to ever transition. Part of it is certainly fear of what others will say/do etc... but that's actually one of the smaller issues (no one can say, or do any thing worse to me than I have already done to my self) I also have an autoimmune disease which I'm not sure how it would react to the stress it would put on my body (a very real result could be death.) The last, and maybe strangest reason is I have come to accept my lot in life to an extent, I have people in my life now who know the real me, and respect my choice to not be out publicly, but when we are alone always refer to me as female. I have even got to the point where I don't hate my body any more either, and try to think of somthing positive about the way it is now. Has any one else managed to find any amount of acceptance for themselves with out transitioning? Did you still end up doing it eventually?
