Hello!
So recently my best friend told me that he is a transgender(FtM), and I am trying to be as supportive and helpful as I can, but the truth is that I don't know that much about all of this, and neither does he. We're trying to figure it out together. I have been reading a lot about it , but is there anything we would need to know, or some helpful tips that would help us?

Hi hathathat welcome to Susan's. First I wanted to thank you for being supportive of your friend, that is probably the most important thing you can do to help your friend. Something your friend will likely want to do is find a qualified gender therapist they can help guide your friend down the correct path for them. Otherwise I hope you can find information you are looking for here.

Would you mind telling from which country you come from, there might be additional resources ?
Its very good you are supportive...
well I'd say talk about it with each other...
and keep asking questions... alone writing might help... and people here will try to support you :)
hugs
