Zooey,
I do sympathise with Heatherdress's comments, I have had your some of your harsh comments, but that's history now .
I feel the thing you fail to understand is having all this hit when you're later in life, been married forty years and have children and grandchildren to consider, that' s quite a loss to consider and walk away from, I chose to stay as I am because I think more of them than myself . Please don't give me if I really wanted to be a woman all that wouldn't stand in my way , I also know what it's like to have something tear me apart inside, but I have to accept that total happiness won't be found in going down the transition road. You make that abundantly clear in the way you write your replies as do so many others in the TS section, but I do object to the impression you give that JUST CDers don't understand, many of us do but we have to get our priorities right .
