Hi everyone. I've only just realised 42 born male, married with a kid, that I'm a woman. I've got feelings of euphoria and it's in my mind for hours each day. I couldn't be happier.
I'm concerned about two things and I'd really like your thoughts.
coming out. I have some people around me who will support me, but it means my marriage is over. I've just started a new job which is very conservative. If I lose this job and have to divorce and make child payments, I'll be in pain, I won't be able to afford to transition etc etc. Don't get me wrong, I still want to do it, I'm so excited. But this is a lot.
The actual transition. I want it now, but it's intimidating. I want the outside to match the inside. I don't want to go half way, I want to be all woman.
Wanting it now versus making sure I do it right (eg get the right surgeon).
You're all so wonderful and inspiring. If anyone has any words of advice. On either point I'd be grateful.
