[GoneGirl]

I'm prepared psychologically to build a new life around my transition if that is what's required. I hope I'm accepted as Clara, though, so that my family remains an important part of my life, but if I'm rejected, so be it. The only person who really matters to me is my wife, and she is with me all the way.

My guess is that I'll be tolerated by my family in the short term, and gradually be embraced for who I have always been.
