l have just recently been saddened and disappointed to learn that Antisthenes has moved on. I really do hope it was not something I said and yet, l have to wonder...What caused this rather abrupt departure?
This loss, and yes, l do consider her departure a significant loss, has been troubling me all day. I consider this a significant loss because this woman, managed somehow, to delay, for decades, what for some is inevitable.
How was this done? How did she fare? I have been told, even in just her few words, that she is "doing fine". She has moved through that difficult and painful process of transition and left it behind. She has moved into what l call the "real" or "normal" world, having left the "transosphere", far behind.
Perhaps she came here looking for some insight into just what that was all about. Or maybe not. Maybe she just wanted to compare notes with others who might have walked a similar, (or different) path. Chances are, we will never know. This look into the life and transition of someone who did what is nearly impossible....late in life...is now lost.
There is so much that might has been learned. A pity.
