Told my brother today and what do ya know, he's as cool as I am. It figures-it must run in the family!

Congrats Coolj on telling your brother.

Hi coolJ,
It's cool your bro is cool. That must be comforting.
I told my youngest brother last December, and he was just like, "Are you sure?"

congrats!!! glad it went well!!

Thanks all! Yeah after I told him everything his exact words were "this changes nothing between us at all". He is a cool big bro. So far out of 5 people I've told only my wife is against me. Everyone else is very supportive.

CoolJ, your bro IS the coolest!  Also, it's great that others are cool with it too, except for your wife.  Been there and experienced that one too, Hon.  Know what, though?  Can you blame a spouse for freaking a bit ... or a lot?  Put yourself in their position.  How would the news affect you? 

Your spouse may or not come around.  Time will tell.  If she does decide to leave eventually, there are others out there who will be cool with you ... just the way you are.  Really.  Hugs!   

Congrats!

Spouses are hard, because they signed on for the man thing, and that's changing.  I totally understand that, as hard as it may be.

But cool on your bro!

Way cool, coolj.  Sounds like he is one great guy.

LaceyLynne-you are just way too nice, thank you so much for the kind words!
SneakersJay-your exactly right I'd be freaking myself-which is why for my wifes sake I'm resisting fully transitioning for as long as I can(only physically speaking) I am losing the battle though!
And Janet- he is as cool as he sounds,he really is. O and you are looking hot!

Hey coolJ....I just know what you mean...we fight the good fight to stay strong ...but there's always a little something that keeps catching us out. 

It's really hard to know how far we will be able to to slip, before giving in.

Hey sis, how are you doing!! I hope all is well and yeah I'm still tranquilizing the race horse to keep my family intact. Unfortunately you know all too well how hard that is but I want my girls to be a little older before I do anything that might hurt them! Anyway I did shrink my waist so I'm really happy about that!!! Sometimes its just the little thingys that can make my day!!!! Stay well sis!
