I for one can not at this time accept CD'ing in front of one's children.
Until society as a whole accepts variations in gender better then in
currently does, I can't see placing this burden on other persons in my
family, especially children.  Children have enough to deal with without
carrying someone elses luggage along, even if it is mom or pop.	 Whether
or not they will be able to deal with it, which I doubt,  most everyone
they come in contact will treat them differently, if not with hostility.

As for telling one's spouse, I would be a suddenly single CD'er.  I know
for a fact my wife would not and could not deal with my teetering genderness.
Alas, this causes me all kinds of problems as you may guess.  Hell, I don't
know if I could handle telling my wife!

Hugs
