Thank you VERY much for this story. It is spot on and should be read by ALL prospective transitioners. Well done!

yes, very enjoyable

Ah yes she said what I have been saying. You have to do your own thing and not live to others expectations. Surprise.

Yep, great article.

I liked the thought ....cultivate other interests. This is especially true once the tornado dies down and the transition is over. It was very time and resource consuming when I was doing it, and once its done I needed to figure out what things I liked.

It's one reason why I am taking the day off from work tomorrow just so I can take my huskies out for a day of dog sledding. They love it more than I do. I never would have thought of doing this in my previous life.

Great article! I remember reading it in Autostraddle about 6 months ago and made myself take other interests and focus more on those I have. Fitting everything in to life isn't easy but I recommend that one piece of advice, I've seen many ladies and gentleman say the same thing.

Ty anjaq!

Thanks for reminding me of this Rachel 

I bookmarked it this time. 

I found the rereading useful, even though I am still presenting as male (or maybe because of that).

I agree with most of it.  Nice article!
