my friend thinks its a state of mind

[Umiko]

seriously, i love my friend to death and i wouldnt know what i'd do without her but she thinks its a simple state of mind and we can just turn it off. i asked her to join here and listen to everyone's story and finally understand that this is more serious than she can imagine but she is just so deep into the belief that we are just dellusional

Sorry to say this but while you can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink. Either way, I'm sure she will come around eventually so just keep moving forward with your transition and she'll realize it's not something you can turn off. She has to make the effort to research herself, you can suggest it but you can't force it on her. Give it time.
