QuoteFirst thing's first, you and i have been friends a very long time and as far as I'm concerned you are who you are and you have to do what you feel is right. I'm so proud that you are able to admit all this to yourself and that you have taken the last 27 years of confusion, depression and all around dissatisfaction of life and are turning it into something new. You are seeing professionals who are going to be able to help support you and help you to understand what is happening in ways that not many people can.GID is not uncommon and is in no way wrong or criminal,it is simply something that you are. The fact that you are doing something about it shows how strong you really are and how dedicated you are to changing your life for the better. I have a strange question though that has no bearing on our friendship or anything of that nature. (It's more clarification than anything) are you attracted to women or men? Sorry it is so blunt of a question but as I said, it has no real bearing on anything other than my own clarification of your situation.I know your friends and family love you, I also know the area we are from and how people can react. You will always be my friend and your life choices are yours to make and I want you to know that I support it. I will however have to get used to a new name and I will probably still call you (BOY NAME) from time to time lol. I want you to come down sometime, I want you to meet my new girlfriend and we can go out to some places downtown, there are a few places that are very friendly and I think you would enjoy being able to let loose as your true self there. While the past few years we have grown apart, there is no way we can ignore how long we've been friends, you are going through a lot right now and I will be glad to help where I can. (Girlfriend) can also help, I'm sure, to give you some background, she is bi-sexual was part of the local RollerDerby team and has spent time with some ladies who have gone through what you are going through now. We are both staunch advocates for gay and trans-gender rights and the rights of people as a whole. I think you should definitely come down soon, I'll try to get some semblance of schedule balance and figure out when. Until then, keep me posted on what is going on and don't let anyone get you down, keep going to your doctors and talk it out with them. -(His Name)
