Hi Samantha, you had a tough journey getting to this point, but it sounds like you are finally in a place of acceptance and love. Your fiancee sounds like an incredible person and I believe you will be happy for many years to come. I’m about 4 months in with HRT and will socially transition in about 8 months.
As far as a male role model, I tried that and had some successes, but never shared my authentic self with my wife, daughter, doctors, and a few friends until the middle of last year. Just because you present a male persona doesn’t mean you would be the best parent your kids need – they need to know the real you and they will admire your courage and heart!
Thanks for sharing your story – it gave me a lift today!
Hugs,
Brie
