I was googling "wives of transsexuals," and came across this:
"Transition is hard enough, without feeling that we "have to do it right" or that we have to live up to someone else's standards. (Almost invariably, someone else who hasn't lived this life.) Transition is something I did for me. It's not about living as a transsexual or living as a woman, although I happen to be both. It's about the freedom to be the person that I need to be."
Wow... after the past week, it's nice to find that it isn't just my thinking alone. I know it's not, but so often we rely on others to reinforce our thoughts, to remind us that no, we aren't crazy and that yes, that is a good approach to viewing things.
