One of my closest friends of 10 years has recently come out as trans.

He's always been pretty open with the stuff, going for guys and girls, having multiple partners and an open marriage. I personally feel that should be people's own business, even if it's not something I'd personally be interested in.

In any case, he's visiting tomorrow and I have no idea how to act, or what to say. A part of me wants to support my friend, but another (big) part of me considers trans to just be another form of body dysmorphia not much different from those people who go to a doctor wanting to get a limb cut off because their brain doesn't accept it.

Point is, I can't help feeling that if he goes through with hormones and eventually surgery (I don't know if thats the plan, don't really want to ask), I'm scared it will unbalance him over the edge and he'll just spiral back into heavy depression.

I guess I have to admit I am not comfortable with trans people and I'm worried my friend could be a future suicide risk. Should I bring any of it up or just keep it to myself? None of this changes the fact that I still care.
