That's it! You said it perfectly.
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

Perfection!!! Wow. Thanks, Hypatia. You don't bandy about with that word very often. I'm honored.

Hugs,

Well, I think your advice says everything essential that needs to be said about it in a very succinct and lucid way.

Some people seem to have internal conflicts during transition, some don't.

Your thoughts?

I'm a "measure twice, cut once" kinda girl. My wavering and pondering is all done upfront in making the decision itself. But after that decision, I commit to it with a zealot-like stubborn ferocity that allows no further debate... which frankly, might be unhealthy at times. But that's how I work.

Transition was a little different upfront though. I didn't really ever "decide" to do it by weighing choices and options. I just finally saw who I was in it's entirety, and transition simply became an obvious, inevitable consequence of that. That SEEING and that DOING were one in the same thing for me.
