People who say “I don’t care what anyone thinks of me” are
people who I don’t believe are being honest wtih themselves. I say: It’s
OK (and normal!!) to care what people think of you, but not healthy if
that controls your life.
Interesting post from Diane, the spouse of a transwoman. The two of them left North Carolina for The Netherlands, and a much more open and accepting environment, proving that Every coming out is a new challenge.
Please note Diane's comment regarding the reason for moving to The Netherlands (below).

Thanks for posting this. But please note that we did not leave North Carolina because the Netherlands is more liberal -- in many trans ways it is NOT. We left for family, because Lina is Dutch.
