re: Anyone here have any transgendered friends?

Wife's cousin male, now identifies as female, will probably fully transition soon. She had problems for years including suicidal thoughts and other mental issues, she seems way happier now so I'm ok with that. But honestly, I still don't quite understand and dread the day I have to explain it to the kids.

That said, family is family and friends are friends, you don't have to hang out all the time but you should still love and support (within reason) them.
