When I posted essays on my blog Cassandraspeaks I was very keen to present the truth as I saw it and not to "pretty things up". It didn't make my blog a popular read for most TG's and I am sure made a lot of self identified TS's feel uncomfortable. An obvious fact about life changing transitioning is that whatever the out come the effects are permanent and are indelible on and within a person's life as well as upon those whose lives we touch and affect. Of course that is stating the obvious. I don't believe for a second that anyone begins such an action without first giving at least a modicum of consideration to the effects their actions will have on family and friends alike. That effect will always reflect back at the transitioner both emotionally and practically. The most damaging aspect though are the actions, thoughts and words spoken that a transitioner does not hear, either because they do not want to hear or because they are said out of their earshot and presence.
