Jayne, I may seem like one of the confident ones, but I wasn't always. I started two years ago begging for it not to be true, gradually I became unsure if it's true or not, like you, then eventually and not that long ago, I became resigned. Eventually I became joyful that I'm trans because I came to see that accepting myself has made me a happier, more likeable person. The timeframe doesn't matter. Whether it's two months, two years or two decades, the growth and self knowledge this path brings are worth the pain and suffering to me. I absolutely believe you'll get their eventually. And, Jayne, your sadness and the posts it causes, while perhaps painful to the sympathetic, are to us the struggles of a beautiful baby girl being born. I doubt anyone here regrets dealing with them.
