My friend can be crude (Transgender).

So, my best friend, (And he really is a good guy, despite his faults). Is pissed off, because his stepdad FINALLY came out, and is having a sex change operation. It was a long time coming. Belive me, that man should have been a woman. Despite the fact that my friend's mom supports it and is ok with it, despite the fact that its what G should have been, my friend is still pissed off.

Now I give him, its a big change. But he is pissed off that everyone's life is now fucked up because of it. (Despite the fact that his mom is ok and SUPPORTS it, she is married to him afterall. They also havent had sex in a few years). I tried to listen to him. But after the thousanth time, I almost snapped. I bit my tongue. But still. The ONLY one having a problem with it is him. Everyone else is fine. I'm fine. My mom cool. G wife is cool. G's friends (And mine) are cool and fine, and don't really care. G really should have been a woman. The only one who WOULD have a HUGE problem is G's dad, who was a raging homophobe, and even went out of his way taking G and his brother when they were kids to go watch homosexual's get beaten. But he died last year. So now G is doing this. He waited out of respect for his father to die so he wouldn't witness it. His brother is ignoring him, but will likely come around.

I'm ok with it. Its not the first time I seen it. I was freaked out a little when my docotor did it, but came around because she was still how he once was. A cool customer of mine did it, and I supported her when she became a guy. I'm totally supported G, because he is a really cool guy. (Talks way to much) but still cool. Everyone I've talked to is cool. Except my freind, who is convinced that the world will end because G is getting a sex change, and everyone will be unhappy. But its not true.

There's a vast difference between your doctor getting a sex change and your stepdad doing it. Don't judge your friend on what you guess your feelings would be in that situation, because you've never been in his situation.

His dad is no longer going to be his "dad". Sure, he'll still be the same person, and he'll still be a parent to your friend, but that's still a difficult thing for a son or daughter to wrap their head's around.

It sounds like your friend's family is educated on the subject, so I have no doubt that your friend will eventually come around. But give him time.
