Hi, Simon! I think it’s really awesome that you are able to express your hurt about your family’s reaction without giving into anger. That must be really hard. I just want you to know that there are lots of people in the world who love and respect trans people specifically *because* they are border-crossers. I am one of those people! Hopefully, with time, your family will see your transition for the beautiful journey that it is. If they don’t, I urge you to surround yourself with people who do. The universe needs people like you in it.
