Thank you for sharing with the community. I have a friend/former coworker that has a very similar, actually - practically an identical situation to what you've described to us. Although I found it complex and confusing, we would talk about it in an effort to help me to better understand his plight. As a friend, I wanted to show acceptance and be supportive of his choice to pursue what he feels is right for him. Probably the most confusing part for me to understand was that he claimed that he wasn't gay. I thought for a while that maybe he was keeping that aspect of it in the closet to avoid adding anymore awkwardness or to preserve the friendship that we had prior to and after his decision to begin taking estrogen. Your openness has reassured me that my friend is being completely genuine about what he's told me. Thank you, and I'm happy to hear that you're finding yourself.
