Stealth: Starting Anew

I can understand now why so many transsexuals go into "stealth" mode after they have transitioned. A brief refresher: stealth mode in this case means the person leaves everything behind and moves to another city, where they start anew and no one ever knows that they have transitioned from one gender to another.

I've written here before that I wouldn't go into stealth mode once my transition is complete. But now I'm not so sure about it. More lessons from experience, I guess. I know there will be people currently in my life who will never accept me as a woman, and relationships with them, if any, will be strained at best.
