4) Offer well chosen written material, but if you
have the ability, it is probably better to prepare a written summary
of needed information. It probably more clearly demonstrates that
you understand your problem thoroughly, and understanding helps breed
confidence in others, whom you want to help understand you also.
5) Hold your head up high with pride. By
changing your sex you are not committing an act of indecency. There
can be no disgrace in being a man or a woman, so why should there be
any shame in choosing to rectify nature's mistakes?
6) Be Positive. The people whom I have chosen to
bring into my secret are special to me and are being accorded a
privilege so far as I am concerned.
7) I am seeking no one's permission or agreement,
but I do value their supportive interest. The people concerned are
all adult, particularly my children, and I in turn do not expect them
to seek my agreement when they are taking a certain course of action,
even though explanations are always appreciated.
Adult children are sometimes adept at dictating to
their parents. My approach has always been positive in dealing with
them and in turn they are always positive in dealing with me, and I
regard that as an admirable trait.
In all the circumstances I believe
my efforts to bring children, relatives and friends into my personal
picture have so far succeeded beyond my expectations. I only hope that
this account of personal experiences and conclusions will be helpful
to others.
