Hello there, this is my first post (hopefully in the right thread) and I just wanted to ask a question. To put things in context I am a 38 year old married ‘man’ with two lovely young children. I have had gender issues for as long as I can remember but find myself in a position where I feel unable to remove myself from the position I find myself in. The fear of letting my wife and children down seems to far outweigh the need to be the person I feel I am. It is stifling to be honest and I find the thought of not being honest with myself and those I love about who I believe myself to be just as terrifying. For anybody reading this who was in a similar position can I ask if it was a gradual thing or whether you just knew one day that the time was right to be honest and ‘come out’ with those you love? I am sure there is a light at the end of the tunnel but I am not sure I can see it yet.
Thank you in advance
Jessie
