Dear Jannet,
it was really sad for me to read your post. And... I really don't know what to say. Sadness is mixed with a bitterness. Why we have to experience all this? Why is our pain of being transgender perceived as something we are able to change?
You did not have a choice to stop hormones. To be honest, I think that gender identity cannot be changed, attitudes can. Yet people around us keep trying to make us to change what we are. Why they don't try to change their own attitudes and beliefs instead? Why, when according to them changing something inside us is so easy?
But being angry and bitter does not help. I wish you to find happiness and peace again. And I wish your wife to emotionally understand. To understand your pain. Please, be strong, keep going further, keep your dignity, stand straight. I believe that because of all this, we are much more whole and mature persons than people who abandon us.
