This post will address two issues: (1) further posting by me; and (2) the comments section of this blog.
(1) Some of you may be disappointed with the pace by which I have posted. Please understand that I have many things going on in my life right now (working, living, sleeping, transitioning) and I find myself with little time to address the questions raised in the post below with the care, sensitivity and scope that they deserve. I do think that those questions merit a response and time permitting I will get some posts up in the near future. Thank you for your patience.
(2) It was my hope that allowing comments on this blog would allow people to ask questions and discuss issues relating to my transition in a sincere and mature way. By sincere and mature, I do not mean agreeing with my decision to transition. Indeed, some great comments and questions were asked, both positive and negative to my experience. Unfortunately, however, many comments have had little to do with the purpose of this blog. To the extent that the comments have lost focus, I take some responsibility for not posting and providing substantive material to discuss. In any case, I have decided to disable the comments feature on this blog. Perhaps I will re-enable the comments when I post again or at some other time. In the mean time, should anyone wish to ask me any questions or send any comments, feel free to contact me at "alifeintransition at gmail dot com". For those who did post their honest feelings - no matter the substance of their comments - thank you for your contribution.
As I wrote in the comments, I am not forcing anybody to visit this blog. If you are interested in my experience, please bear with me while I find the time and energy to post.
