I have often thought about the possibility of having a sexual re-orientation, as it's often called. I am still thinking about it, and during the time I recently had to present myself en femme, I thought about it even more.
Family, job, social conventions--all have been factors in my choice to remain male. The monetary costs are not small either.
One might ask or say, "Then you don't REALLY want to change." However, I would respond that, as with other choices in my life, this one would not be made in a vacuum. Many choices individuals make have effects on other people; individuals don't necessarily bear the burden of responsibility for other persons' response to the choices, but still those others may bear some of the consequences. For example, I have sometimes thought that it would be a great to live in a true wilderness. I have never done it long-term though that is what I said I wanted. However, my three children would not have had many very important educational and social experiences (ones that I had that led me to the wilderness idea) if they had been reared in the wilderness. I had to weigh one value against another, one desire against another.
my career is almost over; my children are grown and on their own. Perhaps now is the time. It's still a hard decision.
