Bryony,
You exhibit classic Transsexual traits. At the end of the day, embracing those, are all that will save you, from a mental crisis, Your family do not need that. This is something, so big, it cannot be supressed. It is hard, but, unless those, closest and nearest, to you can accept it, sadness and misery will prevail.
I think you need mega big hugs,

Hi Chrissie,

thank you for your hugs!

I must say, when I heard your radio slot, it did sound awfully familiar...

I'll have to see what happens. I won't do anything that risks their happiness, but if I grow gradually, I guess/hope they will get used to it.

Of course, I may not get anything much, but I suspect I will... my mother, sister, and daughter all had/have substantial busts, and I've put on an inch over the last couple of months (36" rib cage).

Life would have been so much easier if I'd been born 40 years later....
