The talk I am thinking about is probably not the one you are expecting. What brought it to mind for me is another topic brought up here again recently. Someone asked what is going to happen with all your CD clothes and accessories when you pass. At my age (almost 70) I have been thinking a lot about funeral planning. These days I spend all my time except work presenting as Cassie and if retire from my full-time job I will be Cassie full time. It is likely that I will get a part-time job but only if I can present as Cassie there. My whole family has seen me as Cassie and know that I am happy being ME.
So I am wondering if I could/should be Cassie or be 'cleaned up' and be buried as my male self. My thinking on this right now is that a funeral is for the family to remember their loved one. So that decision is up to them. I think though asking that they at least have a picture of me as Cassie would be fitting.
I am sorry if this sounds a little morbid, but over the last few days I can't get this thought out of my head.

Remember the line in old movies and TV shows, "Hey, it's your funeral."
But you are right, funerals are for the living. You aren't really going to care anymore.
After all death is a fact of life.

With luck I've got a bit longer to think about this at the tender age of 55 🙂 But thank you for putting the thought into my head. My first reaction is, absolutely yes, I want Fiona to be represented at my funeral. Now that I've found her in me, I intend that she is to be a constant and significant part of the rest of my life.
That is an interesting question Cassie.
I am sure us of a certain age have made some kind of plans and made those close aware of our wishes but your thoughts have added a dimension I hadn't broached. You have made me have a think to discuss the 'finer' details with my executors as I am not married as I haven't done that. There is s chunk of my social life that have no idea and may never do so and a chunk who have only known me as Angela then family and friends who have known both.
An interesting dilemma and one that needs to be talked through.
It could be an interesting passing!
