[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have friends who are going through the same thing. Our children were born 5 weeks apart and I've known this child since they were born. From the get go I saw this child did not identify with their physical gender. Long story short, I totally believe this child is transgendered. It's been a very stressful and painful experience for this family. The people who say it's child abuse have no idea what they are talking about. Making the child live as someone they are not, is child abuse. So back to our question, I just try and let them know that I am supportive of them and always ready to listen. I think the best thing to do is to still treat them as you always have. Don't be awkward. Don't avoid them. Just maintain your friendship and be supportive with them.[/quote] Thank you. This is VERY similar to my situation. [/quote]
