You know a few years back, when I was starting out in TV, I worked on a programme called my Transsexual Summer for Channel Four. It was a really fascinating programme to be apart of. I met a lot of young people who, for various reasons, wanted to transition from one gender to another. They all had their reasons. But gender transitioning aside, they also had something else in common. They were incredibly brave. Some of them had dealt with bullying for decades, some had been cut off from family, some had had death threats. They had all had to deal with incredible hardships because of 'the decision' to change gender. Your friend of a friend hasn't made the choice to become a woman. She's decided she can no longer carry on not-being herself. She knows this is going to cause a lot of pain to her wife, and the children, and yet she still felt the need to do it. No doubt she is aware that this path will cause heart ache to the people they love, to risk friends turning their back on them, to make work unbearable, to have to take hormones and undergo surgeries which would make most peoples eyes water.. all they want from you is to look them in the eye and treat them how you would any other human being.
So have a good laugh, share the pictures about, maybe give this person a good public mocking the next time you see them. Then go home, find a mirror, and a take a long hard look at yourself.
fair enough......honest question , honest answer.........
