Describe your best friend!

[MsDazzler]

Okay, here it goes -

Some of my friends commented that as a transitioning woman now, I should have a female or at least even a trans best friend.

But my best friend, who I love dearly and has been always there for me, is a gay male. * gasp * there!

Describe yours!

My best friend is a gay male also.  He's not entirely supportive of my transition as he once had a thing for me, but nonetheless he remains a close friend.

I have a couple of trans friends, but we don't have much in common so I don't really hang out with them much.

My (old) best friend I had known since I was 5 hasn't talked to me much since I came out, but I might try contacting him again. We had so much in common I doubt I would be able to find a friend like that again.*sigh*

I feel the same way about a few people I knew in the past. I had to abandon everyone I knew from high school because they all went to drugs.

It's really difficult for me to meet people. I am too shy to just go up and talk to people, and I don't know how else to make friends. The few times I do meet people, they end up not wanting to hang out with me after a few times cause we have nothing in common.

Same here, I'm really quiet as well. My trans friends I met at a support group, so maybe something along the same lines is the best way to meet new friends? Like joining a cooking class, or a sports teams, or some sort of club.

I had to think about this one for a while before answering. Though I have more friends now that before I started transitioning, I don't think I have a "best friend" at the time. That's not to say I don't have any close friends, I'm just not sure who is closest. I hesitate to say my 20-year-old daughter, but she really is someone with whom I can discuss just about anything.

[Joeyboo~ :3]

Mkay.

She's half white and half meheecan like me.
She's fat~
Like seriously, I don't know what it is about fat chicks and gays that sort of cosmically align in life but I'm just glad I was gay.. and she was fat.. because otherwise we wouldn't have each other.
Uhh.. she's a whore?
Has sex alot.
What's funny is that once I started not getting laid as much, she started getting all the penis, I swear.
But it's wutev.
She's pansexual, just like me! Yay.
Uh, she's a senior.
Aaaaaaaaaand we both love Mean Girls and Britney Spears.

The End.

My best friend is a thirty something autostraddle aficionada  from Ontario. We met in a tight knit crew of extreme partiers in our small town some years ago - that crew has since disbanded. After an extended period of that (I was booking bands at the time) she went off to Vancouver Island, I remained here with my two children. When she returned we picked up the relationship (platonic) sans partying. There was something special that clicked between us immediately into a tru blu relationship - it's a powerful type of friendship. I used to have codependent relationships but have gone beyond with this one into something new. We don't spend that much time together right now, but it doesn't really matter. Other than her, I don't really have friends - I have had so many fair weather friends, acquaintances and connections in business in this small town - but none that I maintain to this day besides her. For now, my children fulfill a huge part of my emotional needs...

I have 3 close, supportive friends, but 2 of these are online (as they don't live anywhere near me).

My best friend is Eve87 from here on the forums though. It's downright scary how much we have in common and she probably doesn't realize just how much she means to me.

[Ultimus]

My twin sister. We are inseparable. She also happens to be a heavenly blessed beauty:

My best friend is a straight(ish) guy, four years older than me, wickedly smart, creative, artistic and with a disability that's stuck him in a wheelchair. He's entirely supportive of my transition, though he hates that I didn't come out to him sooner, and he kinda blames himself for not working it out and thus letting me go through everything alone. He's been my best friend since I was six, that's twenty-one years.

If I was straight, I'd probably be in love with him. As it is, he's basically my brother.

Awww I thought we were bestfriends, or atleast lovers =P

[shortNsweet]

I have a few pretty close friends. They share similar interests with me. Good senses of humor. Love music. Know how to have a good time but aren't crazy party people. They're all girls. I just feel more comfortable around girls it seems.

It's a toss up

My sister, but she lives 400 miles away and has to take care of a special needs child. We talk about everything but she's far too busy to talk to me much...

A classmate at school, but I don't see her being my bestie after school. She has kids to take care of and she's 15 years older than me. We never hang out or really talk outside of school. but at school we're inseperable.

Another friend at school but she's annoying with projecting her absolutely poor self esteem.. and she flirts with me ALL THE TIME which.. um I don't swing that way. Plus when it comes time to go somewhere, she's like "Where should we go??" like I'm a guy and I have to pick... even though she knows I'm trans...

Bleh, there's no gay guys in this town and a ton of ->-bleeped-<- hags, so I guess until I transition, girls will want me to be their gay friend  I guess that's why I choose the middle girl as my bestie around here.. she actually treats me like a girl and almost thinks of me as one. I've told her everything and when I get emotional or whatever, her response is basically "welcome to being a girl"  ... and she NEVER gives me that ->-bleeped-<- hag feel... you know, too clingy and giggly and insistant about talking about her freaking clothes or boy problems.. and only about those things. (Not that I mind, but some girls USE gays for that)

I don't have any friends at all, never mind a bestie.
