Hi
A couple of things, Yes show her this site. She will be very emotional and needing help after coming out. You cannot comprehend the fear people have. When I came out to my family I asked them around for dinner that I cooked. They knew they were going to meet Cindy. I was trembling. I was almost sick.
They were very accepting but the usual questions were blurted out. What do we call you? Ah what's wrong with Cindy? How long have you been like this, since I had memory. etc etc. Are you Gay, Why do you want to know? Are you?
I'm not full time as yet for complicated reasons but the family call me Cindy whatever mode I'm in.
Help her with her clothing and style. She needs a friend. She has probably never had a true girl friend that she could talk girl stuff too. This site really helps with that.
As she transitions, if that is the path she seeks, be there for her. It's really quite tough. Draining emotionally and physically.
She is lucky to have you as a friend.
Keep in touch with her, she will be a bit paranoid and if you don't keep talking she may see it as rejection and VERY hurtful. That's the time the razor blades and pills come out. And many of us have experimented with that path
You come over as a marvelous human being. Quite rare.
Cindy James.
56yrs old and totally gorgeous
