Just posted this on facebook where my sister-in-law follows my post:

If you are one of the people who are either conflicted or opposed to my transition, I'd like to tell you a few things.

First, Bless you.

You could have easily decided to just cut me out, have nothing more to do with me, but you're sticking around, and that's an amazing thing.

I'm going to assume you care, or you'd be gone, so let me try to explain the biggest thing about this transition.

I'm a better person for doing this.

I'm braver, I'm kinder to myself and to others, I'm making serious progress on dealing with my rape, I could go on.

No matter if I end up being able to go all the way and get the surgery or not, this has been a positive thing for me.

And isnt that the bottom line?
