Bryony, I have three children 40, 37 and 30. They all support me, although my one daughter is sad to lose her dad, as the male figure she has come to love. I don't know how to account for it, but I have not experienced the kind of closed-minded, visceral rejection from family and friends that so many others have reported. There are a few exceptions, but too few to dwell on the ugly side of people's prejudice.
Kari, I never liked my male appearance. As I've aged that dislike has only intensified. Now, as a woman, I like my reflection in the mirror. In many respects, I will not follow the same aging path as natal women experience. Estrogen has been a fountain of youth for me both physically and mentally. I will be an 80 year old woman someday with perky breasts.
