People obviously don't understand the consequences we face and the sacrifices we make when we transition. Being trans isn't easy.

But we do it anyway, because the alternative is to be miserable.

Complicated relationships with family members

A few members of my family have trouble accepting me. My choice was to spend less and less time with them.

I think you're allowed to tell your father that if he doesn't want to "see you" the way you see yourself, then he doesn't get to physically see you at all. If he wants to lose out on a relationship with his child due to ignorance, that's his choice, not yours.

Although it sucks, sometimes you have to cut off family if they are hindering your life or impacting your happiness.

Maybe I'm jaded, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. However, my belief is that friends are your chosen family. I'd much rather be surrounded by people who accept me and love me unconditionally.
