Ok so this is a friend who sadly I've known most of my life and she has moved away, and we've been through alot together. I've opened up about being gay and everything, and today she finally opened up to me, but not about what I was expecting. "She" feels like a "He." Shes already a tomboy, but this caught me by suprise, but as she kept explaining her feelings, I was very sympathetic, but at the same time struggled to grasp what that must feel like. I'm a gay boy myself, and know all about what its like to get feelings with guys and not with girls, but I cant even begin to imagine how she must feel, being trapped inside her own body. I hear about transgender and thier stories frequently, but I cant lie I actually kind of looked down on people who are transgender, which is sad considering I'm part of the LGBT community myself. To hear someone very near and dear to me talk about it, it hit home and I had tears flowing. My views on transgender immediately changed and I just couldnt grasp what she must be feeling, even though I tried so hard to relate, but I just couldnt. I support her and love her very much, but I have to be honest, I need someone to enlighten me more about what shes going through, because i think this is just the tip of the iceberg.
