I'm really not bothered that she now looks like a woman and in no way do I think she's insane. She's actually very pretty. She's going through a hell of a time right now, only recently came out to her parents, and after going through the physical transition, most of the men including her father have pretty much cut all contact with her.

I really don't care what other people think. We currently live together and a few neighbors know who she is because their children went to school with us, and I've had words with them a few times about being respectful towards others. Girlfriends I've had that have an issue with my best friend being a t-girl get dumped pretty fast because she's my best friend and I don't intend for that to change and I don't intend to hide her either.

I guess to chalk it all down is there's been a recent tension in our friendship because I still act like she's one of the guys when we hang out. On weekends I usually have a bunch of people over, we have a few drinks and watch some movies, and shoot the shit. I have a ridiculously large couch that turns into a giant bed and we usually all crash on it and hang out for the weekend.

Now as a Massage Therapist most of my work friends are female, and so aren't almost all my best friends. Really the only guys who show up are her boyfriend who sometimes is too busy to come, or some of her guy friends. When we were all hanging out a couple weeks ago she cuddled up next to me like some of the other girls do and well it kinda went like this.

Brain - Hey... thats a guy man. Akward...
Heart - Who gives a crap, that's your best friend. You'd take a bullet for her just give her some comfort you jackass.

Basically I just dealt with being uncomfortable because I honestly would have felt worse offending her by pushing her away. Especially with the emotional time shes been through and her boyfriend wasn't there for her that night.

Then the event that eventually brought me here. Was eating some cheerios the other morning and she came up and asked me if she should keep her cock or not. Now we've always been open with each other growin up, and very little is kept from either of us. But when she asked me this I looked at her with a "Dur?" like expression because I honestly did not know how to respond and I do believe she was disappointed that her best friend couldn't give her any advice.

I've looked through these boards and I see there's quite a few frequent posters around that actually do know, or are M2F women, and I guess I'm just wondering how to proceed. I don't want a great friendship to end over something like this, but I'm afraid if I tell her about me being uncomfortable with my inability to cope she might feel like the only guy in her life who's stuck by her through it all is leaving or something. I don't intend to though, but as you can see I'm a simple guy and not much thought process goes on between my 2 ears. Expressing myself is not my strong suit.

TYVM for the advice so far it really helps.
