My best friend has always told me that she'd be proud of me no matter what and support my decisions. I guess I tested her words by coming out to her a few weeks ago when we were talking about drag kings.
Basically, I told her that I've thought about it and decided that I wanted to get a sex change. So, yeah, it was pretty much that, but in a very informal, close friend-to-friend kind of way.
She's very supportive now, but I've noticed that she still talks poorly about other transsexuals and sex changes around our other friends. She doesn't say anything negative about me being trans, which of course makes me happy, I just feel strange that I'm her exception to her feelings about transsexuals. In a way, it makes me feel special. Then again, it also makes me feel awkward.
We've been close friends for 7 years. She's always been protective of me and will hurt anybody that says anything bad about me. While I'm grateful that she's supportive of me, I feel weird that she's so proud of me but still thinks negatively about transsexuals in general.
Have you guys known anybody like this, and do you think I should do something about it or what?
