That's a nice thought. I thought that too. I'm a pretty open minded gal, always have been. I had a number of friends of the years who were gay and tg and ts. I never had a problem with their particular lifestyle choice.
Then my sister calls me all upset because her husband and the father of her son has announced that he's having a sex change. At first I was more concerned about my sister and her kids than anything. Then I saw signs that I couldn't believe I had missed. Then I started worrying about how things were going to change.
I have to admit that I went through a really rough time accepting him as a her, especially the first few times I saw "her" instead of my brother-in-law. Then I got more used to it.
Now I talk to her on the phone and ask about her, etc. But I have to admit that my friendship isn't what it once was. I thought I'd never change my opinion of him as a person, but I have.
I think it's impossible to know how you'd handle a situation until you're looking it in the face.
