Okay. I'm not new here, I often prowl the forums here without contributing through posting.
So I have a tough situation. Someone I love very much as a close friend came out to me as transgender. I don't know what their intentions are in the (distant) future as far as that goes regarding hormone therapy or SRS or whatever, but that is not relevant. We're in high school.
This friend, he (the person in question is male biologically so I will use male pronouns) has started dating someone else that is of the same biological gender as him. So basically they're two guys. (Except one's a girl? Or is he?)
I don't really know what to think, they're both very faithful Christians or at least present themselves that way and I want to offer insightful advice, although I'm not sure what my stance on this should be. Should I be trying to preach to them and forbidding it or embracing it or ignoring it or what? I'm so confused, and I'd love some advice.
Also something useful to know, I'm not going to just blatantly stop being friends with him because of this... He's still one of my closest and most trustworthy friends.
