I love that - precarious journey (has a poetic ring to it)... and in some ways it is - but oh what a privileged journey it is as well. Not many people can say they've experienced what us partners of trans* people have - by this I mean witnessing a person "come into being" (I don't quite know how to put it) but it's kind of breathtaking. I wouldn't swap it for anything in the world, to see the one you love "growing into" the person he always was but who the world previously couldn't see.

Yep, it's difficult sometimes, and you'll meet up with ignorance (of all sorts: well-meaning, clueless and downright malicious) too - but the alternative - to have him trapped in an existence that isn't his own... that denies him his authenticity - that's the unthinkable part.

It's like that saying - I forget how it goes exactly but something like "nothing worth having comes easy".

Bleh, I can wax lyrical sometimes. But it's only because it's one of the few things I'm actually passionate about.
