At Some Point

The almost always certain rule about transitions:

At some point in a transition the woman stops thinking of herself as transitioning and describing herself as trans-something and simply thinks and feels of herself as a woman. And at that point, she starts her life over and everything before is forgotten.

At that point she erases everything she did to identify as trans-something and just lives her life as a real honest person and woman. It almost always happens, and it's why they disappear in the society as any other ordinary woman.

Only those who are openly out or public about their trans-something history can't erase it and they're stuck with the stupid little adjective the rest of their life, that "transgender" woman. All the rest just get on with the life without it.

And so it should be, but don't leave those who were your friends during your transition behind to wonder why you left them without a word. They were there for you then and they can still be there for you now.
