I also have a very close friend who is transgender and I feel the same way about her. She is an incredibly compassionate and courageous person, even in the face of horrible discrimination and danger. I admire her tremendously.I have a very close friend who is transgender.
I am very aware of the many challenges she faces and experiences on a day to day basis.
I don't have any easy answers to give her, but she knows I am her friend and I will always be there for her and will listen to her.
Her journey through life has by no means been an easy one and yet I have strong admiration for her courage. I have witnessed first hand much of the verbal abuse she has had to tolerate from cruel and cowardly people on a daily basis and have been humbled by her kindness and forbearance, often at tremendous cost to her own personal mental health and wellbeing. And yet she still continues to live her life selflessly, looking after her frail mother and taking care of her needs every day.
I am not qualified to tackle the subject of transgenderism from a theological or ethical standpoint. All I will say is that I am very honoured and privileged to be a friend of one of the kindest souls I know.
