I wold have to say with that little tidbit of information, you are right. I would definately still ask him and then confront him as to why, especially if ya'll have been friends for a while. Might even get him aking the question about himself and change feelings because all that stuff may be on a more subconscious level and may even make things better for his own child.
I'm really worried about the child. Last night his father grabbed him by the throat over some argument they were having non trans related, and as a result he moved out today while his father is gone for his cancer appt' in Gainesville 2 hours away. I'm in contact with him via internet on this site (I turned him on to Susan's as soon as he told me about himself). He's at his SO's so he's safe for now. His mother knows about him being trans and is very supportive. She's trying to get bus or train tickets for him to get to her place in Savannah Ga. I told him I live by two rules: No one has a right to put their hands on you, and, friendships don't come with strings attached. He's just a kid and does everything he can to help his father out which, it's a mini farm complete with pigs cows goats chickens turkeys, 5 dogs, and in general a lot of work to keep up. Father or not he had no right to grab him by the throat. He's supposed to call me here in a little bit. I hope he's got good news.
I thank you very much for your concerns. But right now my problem with the father can wait. If that is, I still even call him a friend after this. Right now I'm more worried about the kid.
