I think this is a question that needs a lot of introspection. You kind of have to decide for yourself what "staying male" even means before you can address the concern.
By some people's definition, I am still Male since i haven't had reassignment surgery, but I haven't considered myself one for years.
My family is completely supportive. My wife and kids still call me husband and dad, but use the effeminate pronouns. "She is my dad". My father introduced me to his commanding officer as his daughter. It was awkward at first, but as a continued in my journey, I grew much more comfortable with myself than I ever was as a man.
