My friend [View all]

Who I have known a good while came out that they are transgendered. He has been closeted for years due to family and an abusive relationship. He's so happy.

It warms my heart that they have chosen to become himself.

Maryland isnt a transbigot state.We can get gender affirming care here.I do.

I told him I would be there for him every step of the way. Since I have transitioned and had the hormones, surgeries ect.except for the bottom, I told her I would answer questions and help the best I can.

I am so proud of him.

Just like names, pronouns are personal. Ms. Toad Jan 2024 #7

Should this apply to those who are bipolar? SleeplessinSoCal Jan 2024 #8
