Ilene,
I understand your dilemma, but you know there will come a time when he will have to be proved wrong for the sake of the all of us in this situation .
I feel you may have been happier writing this declaring you came out and stood up for your true feelings and made it clear to him that this community exists and does have equal rites .
I would be even tempted now to contact him by Email, letter or whatever and put the record straight , otherwise what happens next time you meet up ? Once you've done it you will find it easier. In some respects you are holding yourself back from accepting your true feelings and needs . We are similar ages and I know I can't replace this time again , if it doesn't happen now it never will , you were a courageous person in your work you can be the same with your personal life . Being TG is a wonderful challenge , I'm going to try my best to live it while I can .
