Our Worst enemy

I've blended into the world as a female to the point where I really don't have any issues to speak of other than dealing with my own little psychological barriers developped over decades where I was desperately trying to deny identity.

I can now very firmly attest that the primary enemy of the transgender person is themselves, which can be entirely understandable given what we go through particularly if older and are dealing with intrinsic core identity versus some sort of pastime (something only you can figure out). The more effort which was put in to suppress that identity, the more will be required to bring oneself to self acceptance and a sense of harmony and balance.

Thus we should work on ourselves first before trying to get others to accept us because without that self love we will be very easily deflated when our expectations are shattered and not everyone gets on board with the program; something virtually guaranteed to happen particularly with older and more conservative people.
