I noticed that many fear the future as it is written and say my wife will desert me, my kids, the society, etc but the reality is nobody knows exactly what's going to happen.
In my case I keep happily married to the se woman of theast 42 years now.
I have three kids, all married men and none of the has left me down, more than that they support me.to the point last Christmas all gift were femenine related stuff.
What's the trick? I was slowly doing changes. It people slowly adapt to the new me. Human beings are animal of habits,. Now my wife doesn't notice the difference between 3 years ago if she doesn't see a puc. I know because she still concerned about the same people I'm not out yet but she's no worried that they see me now because she has not realized how much I had changed. Not sure if I was ear in the last.
To resume, if your need of being happy, honest, real is enough to bite bullet of the risk, donit slowly and wisely, everybody will adapt to you but if your gender dysphoria is real, everyday will be worse and you won't adapt to it.
As several said, therapist won't give you answers but strategies to move forward in your life as your real one.
One thing that is really corrosive tonthe mind and spirit is to live a fake life...
