Abandonment is not an option. I have been friends with him since we were kids and our families are pretty close.
This was a huge shock to all of us.

Is he (or she) into dudes or chicks? That's the part that confuses me. If someone is straight, then transitions and is still attracted to that original sex, are they now gay? Likewise, if they were gay then transitioned, are they now straight?

This is not true but I think my line is set at gay right now.
I've got a couple of gay friends, only one of which is a very close friend (and he hides all his gayness from me).
I just don't think I'd ever get to the point of being close friends with a trans person. I can't imagine the type of people taking that step have very much in common with me.

it's like a lobotomy for your dick!

I guess that makes sense. I imagine that's a type of job where you don't necessarily have to see people in person.

He is still into chicks, I think.
He was never a poon hound.
I don't know if he is into chicks or dudes now but I'd assume he is still into chicks.

My husband's cousin has gone from female --> male. S/he has done hormone treatments and legally changed her name to his name.
Kind of weird seeing her/him at family gatherings, but s/he is much happier now so that's all that matters, IMO. (She wants to be referred to as "He", but I still have a hard time getting used to that.)

He isn't terribly sociable, but isn't a complete introvert either. He is witty and enjoys a cold beer and shooting shite at the bar, but those times are fewer and farther between than they have ever been.
He doesn't want me or any of the guys to call him by female pronouns or his chosen female name yet either, which I respect.

Now that raises an interesting … QUESTION:
Will hot looking chicks hang out with this guy once he changes? 'Cause if they would, I'd definitely ask him to hook me up, me being the "loyal, kind-hearted guy who won't abandon his trans-friend." See where I'm going with this? You might be able to turn this whole thing to your advantage.

I know this is not an appropriate forum for inclusion, but i would suggest treating him as you do now. If you are really friends then that should overcome any reservations you are having. A neighbor of mine from childhood did the same thing and my late father, who was never very accepting of LGBT folks but dealt with several regularly in his practice, came to accept her fairly quickly. And for those who reject people who struggle with their gender identity, be grateful that you don't have that issue. Good luck.

I wonder if you dressed up like a chick too if it would show him you aren't going to bail on him as a friend and make the whole night more comfortable for you both.

I like where your head is, but he gets very jealous of female attention because he doesn't get much (because of his extreme intelligence and goofy ways).
He actually broke the bro code on me this summer. We were gunning for the same girl (actually, I was gunning, he was just kinda hanging around, being high and goofy). Long story short, I got a blowjob from her (no secks or pics) and he didn't. I told him the blowjob was awful (it was) and then he relayed that information to her. I got drunk and texted her one night and she asked me why I'd want another terrible blowjob. I chalked up his bro code violation to the fact that he considers himself a woman now

Again, I'm not gonna abandon him.
I was asking for advice on how to deal with my feelings about the entire situation.

Ignore all the bigoted assholes here, you sound like a supportive friend. As long as your buddy knows you accept his decision and will be there for him, you're good. The world needs more people like you.
