At the end of the day, trying to suppress, one's transsexulity , is more of a curse, than a benefit; to those, close to ypu.

I am finding that to be true. I can't give up the beneficial effects to my personality of PM, and it is making me grow, undeniably. I'm at the "coat hook" stage now, I nearly always wear T-shirts and they do stick through...

I think my story to the kids will be: I'd read that PM can reverse hair loss (true) with the risk of some breast enlargement. I found that, more importantly than arresting hair loss, it hugely affected my mental state for the better (undeniably true to all concerned) which I'm not prepared to do without, and if it means "old men's moobs", well, lots of people have them nowadays, and I don't want to be sub-clinically depressed anymore. There are no lies there, just "economy with the truth".

They'll either get to the point where they don't look too ridiculous on a man and stop, and they'll be our "little secret", or they'll get too big to hide (I hope! Do I?) and that may be the point for a conversation about options... ;-)
