Hello, I have seen two episodes and the show seems to have a negative goal. This one left me feeling that there is too much to loose if I transition at my age of 45. The main character is in my age range. This show gave me the feeling that once you have an established life with a family you should just get over it and not destroy them. I guess that at one point you matter little with a family to take care of. This show left me in tears.

No not seen it miya, i'll be honest in that, thats where I've been stuck for so many years, but the Dysphoria keeps coming back, like a recurring meeting appointment, and when it does its stronger than before.
I have had a horrible and miserable time over it, but (i'm now a lot older, almost 20 more) at 49 I couldn't handle it any more and decided to make a start. I went on HRT but have kept it a secret which is about to come out... But since I started I had grandkids too, which made it harder during that time to do it sooner, still going to be very tough, it will break my heart for sure and my families almost certainly... But what do you do?
The emotions of gender will eat away at you, despite years of managing it... You have to be happy in life, if you're always unhappy you are not giving others happiness either. Which is where i'm at now.
But it is about you, I was just sharing my Journey and tipping points.

I can fully understand why the suicide rate is so high. for me I would be a statistic if it wasn't for my fear of survival and worse off than before. So cowardliness is why i am here.

I haven't seen it but keep in mind for television to be successful it needs to be impacting to it's viewers and the story transgender person transitions there whole family accepts them and they are happy, would not considered a successful program. That and television is sometimes written to control people. Years ago tv and literature often depicted gay peoples lives as being negative and painful as a way of trying to keep people from "going gay"
, just something to keep in mind
I watched some of it. It wasn't bad, but after a while, I couldn't stop crying. It just got to me.
