Clara,
I'll turn it around - why do you then persist in advising people as though they were like you?
I'm getting a bit tired of you treating me as though I were somehow aberrant and a one-off phenomenon. I'm not the only person here who is able to cope with PM alone.
I can only go on the evidence. To me, hurricane's problems seem to be addressable in less drastic ways than you seem to prefer.
It is up to hurricane to consider what is most likely to be beneficial to the situation.
I think you should provide advice to people seeking it from your own perspective and experience and not judge the advice of others for whom it has worked.
A major point is, your kids are grown up and have left home. Your wife is, presumably, menopausal. Neither of these things apply to hurricane, so the situation is entirely different. He has more to lose than you do, who is, forgive me, a bit closer to the last lap (as am I, so I'm not being rude).
You say my methods did not work for you. Maybe, but your situation was such that you did not need to persevere. Your income is a lot better than most people, enabling you to get FFS which is a major factor in "passing"; you have a pliant wife who lets you get on with things; and you are not the first person that I've seen here who, once they get to dressing up regularly ,throw a hissy fit at the idea of getting back into drab. All in all, it's so much easier to go with the flow, especially with all the encouragement that is available (apart from me - sorry.)
My feeling is that the only difference between you and me is the pink fog you got by constant exposure to girly things.
You can talk transsexual 'til the cows come home, but I'm quite sure that I would be the same, (a) if I was allowed to and (b) if I didn't have the kind of hypercritical eye that looks in the mirror, induces a wry chuckle and a "naahhhh...."
Give me the megabucks for a Nina Arsenault workover, a 30-year rejuvenation formula and a family as amenable as yours and I'd be right up there.
Here in the real world, where Hurricane lives, I respectfully suggest he should try it my way first.
