Hi Bob J. Thank you so much for sharing this question. That was very sweet of you. You must care deeply for your friends. I respect that. And now you need to be a good friend and help him get the resources he needs to take this journey. He should be reading what he can find that is reputable and going to a good compotent counselor who knows this subject. You only other task is to be there for him/her as the case may be. With someone like you to lean on, along with a network of others, I am sure he will find his answer.

Well, the bottom line is that you have two choices.
1) Turn your back on him.
2) Continue to be his friend and help him work through this regardless of whether he decides to follow through with a reassignment surgery.
Interestingly enough, wanting to be a female and being attracted to men are two entirely different conditions. Our sexuality is made up of two distinctly different components, our gender identity (that's the gender our sense of self identifies with), and our sexual preference (whether we are sexually attracted to males, females, or both).
True story:
I once knew a man who often claimed that he was a lesbian stuck in a man's body. Little did I know that he was, in fact, quite serious. He eventually had sexual reassignment surgery and, the last time I talked to her a few years back she was quite happy being a woman, but was still not particularly sexually attracted to men.

When something is confided in you, you do nothing keep it to yourself. But if this person is a friend to you then you let them know how you honestly feel about what they said. If they are a friend they will listen.

OMG! I wouldn't have the slightest idea what to say. I would just stay out of it. Whatever he does with his own body, is his own business. Stay neutral in this situation and let him deal with it on his own personal level. This is not your average situation, and I feel that is best that you steer clear of this situation. Good luck.

You mean right after "Why?"?
Some can cross that, others can't. Some friends could pull it off, others couldn't. Honest assessment of the chances of success would be my first response--"Hank, you are so ugly as a man, getting your plumbing changed isn't going to help you any."

Personal decision.
Decide if you could still be friends during & after the transformation.

Honestly, I would tell him he would make a terrible female. He is gay and all but he is NOT a woman inside and he has HUGE feet!

Support him... he is your best friend, after all. Are you going to let a little nip/tuck ruin your friendship?
