"Dealing with change and transition is complicated and messy, or that is the general perception. Gender transition is especially difficult due to the cultural constructs of society, roles and expectations for each and everyone of us. When dealing with gender transition of a family member, one coping mechanism I heard is to let go of the old "persona" to embrace the new one. Basically imagine that the person as you knew him/her has passed away. This idea, from my perspective, is more morbid than useful to me. The way I see it, the person can still have the same quirky, humorous personality and be quite alive! So, why should we see changes as ends, rather than beginnings?"
