Good for you, Kari. There's a supposition that coming out transgender/transsexual is going to require tremendous sacrifice and loss. Of course, and unfortunately, it's all too often the case. I don't believe that is going to happen to you, Kari. I think you can assume that you will encounter understanding and acceptance from most, if not all, that love you.
Congratulations on yet another step toward authenticity.

Hugs,

Clara
