Thanks for the feedback everyone - I have told my friend not to raise the subject of whether the new choir member is trans, to audition the person based on their their voice and their voice alone - if they can sing tenor then great but don't pressure them to sing with the sops when the choir sings songs that have no tenor parts.

It's a choir.  I agree that the best approach is purely on the basis of vocal range and quality, and I say this on the basis of being a former chorister.

My friend also appreciates the feedback - in his words, he has been saved from "really f#@%ing things up".

He's a lucky guy to have a friend like you, Grace. It's a real gift to have people in your life who'll be honest with you... and someone who'll put this much time and effort to come up with the right answer = priceless.
