My Transgender Life: Downloading a Friend

The Huffington Post/By Grace Anne Stevens 12/03/2015
"Before I came to terms and self-acceptance with my truth, I spent over forty years working as a design engineer and engineering manager. I used to think as each Friday rolled around, and usually by noontime, most people would start to relax and unwind and get ready for the weekend. I quickly learned that this was not necessarily the way things were in that world I was in. Friday's became a day of wariness, dread and I always found myself on high alert, before the all clear signal rang and I was able to even consider the weekend was a possibility."

Hi Stephanie . It's always good to make a new friend. I think sometimes We forget that We here in the west do have it easier than a lot of other People in the world when We are different .I have been incredibly lucky in that I have had almost universal acceptance of My Transition and almost universal support and help .But hearing about the hard times some people go through I really do thank My lucky stars.

yea, once I decided just to go with it I've met with incredible acceptance, sadly not from my siblings though.
