In the mood I am in now, I might just reassure myself. Transition is a
way to live more comfortably and authentically in the World. It is not
easy, and I lost some friends when I transitioned, yet I knew it was
what I had to do, and it has been my path to self-acceptance.
Clare, always brutally honest when she writes, discusses transitioning. She has said many times that she has had second thoughts, post surgery. She has more to say on the subject of Being Trans.
