re: Do you know anyone who is trans?

Went to senior year of high school with a black guy who had moved from NYC. Super cool dude, ladies man, good athlete. He joined the army after high school. I met up with him one weekend when he was stationed not far from where I was living at the time. Went out drinking, telling stories, cutting up...normal dude stuff. He had a newborn daughter with his girlfriend at the time. We kept in touch for a couple years and then lost touch. A few years later Facebook becomes a thing and I find him on there. End up catching up over the phone and he tells me he is back living in NYC but is planning on moving to Portland. The whole conversation felt kind of off, but I couldn't place what it was. Not too long after that I see on Facebook he is in Portland living as a woman. Hair, makeup, boobs, changed his name, all out. Last person I would have ever expected, still tough to wrap my mind around it.
