Hi all, So I have a best friend, who is transgender - male to female - and she is looking to go on hormone replacement therapy. And, well, as a slightly overprotective friend who also happens to really love her friends, I'm scared for her. But more so I'm worried I can't support her adequately with the limited knowledge that I possess in this area. I've known her for years, and she's a special friend. So I would like to be able to support her adequately. If anyone has any advice of what I might be able to do that would be great! Also, I'd really love some more information about what changes I might expect to see in her, and how those changes might affect her thinking, so I can help her. She is a very, very special friend to me, and as such I want to support her. Thank you Rose
Hi Rose, What a lovely and inspiring entry you wrote. I guess many of us wish we had a friend like you.. kind.. understanding and helpful. I can't give you first hand experience of what changes there will be (yet!) but certainly know what changes we all wish! Love Andrea
Hi Andrea, Thanks for responding I was honestly afraid no one would respond. I wish you all the best luck and hope all goes well for you! I hope you'll share your experiences with me. All the best Rose
Just be there to listen to her, don't try to give her advice or make suggestions as to what she should or shouldn't do. If you are unsure about somthing ask her.
