hey lgbt. so i have friend who i've known from high school that has started acting more feminine and has a softer/higher voice out of nowhere.
i've suspected for a while that they may in the closet but he used to be assertive and masculine w girlfriends and now he's more gentle, reserved and girly/androgynous?
pls help idk what to do about this

Eh in high school i over compensated in order to hide that i was a trans man by being so girly that no one could even think question me. I acted, dressed, talked, and everything like one of those anime obsessed pink hair big eye makeup girls. Even to the point where i wore wigs. Got out of high school and realized i was just scared of people seeing the real me and judging who i actually am.
But dont assume or anything with him. He might not be. If you want to make him feel like he can be open to you about it, talk about sypporting other gay guys or other trans women. But dont confront him, hes not going to ever budge if you straight up ask him.

he's always been a little metrosexual but the most confusing part for me is that he used to date tons of girls and sleep with them and now he doesn't ever mention girls unless they're just friends.
i actually think he's considering transitioning because he's young and would definitely pass but it could also be drag because he got real defensive about rupauls show once

Well just be a good friend to him, take him aside and kindly and gently explain to him that you're friends, and that you love him no matter if he's gay trans or whatever. It changes nothing between you two, but you're worried about him because watching drag race makes him a colossal faggot with zero taste

ok but what about when he bumps into old friends from high school with me? i suppose that's not entirely my problem but fuck that will be awkward when he's got makeup on and heels even if he does look attractive

idk, I wasnt being serious just wanted to say that drag race is reality trash.
If he actually passes and doesnt look like a man in a dress then whats the problem?
>idk what to do about this
nothing? ask him if you want, but don't be surprised if he's defensive or thinks you might be shitty about it. If he brings it up just try to be accepting.

it really isn't that awkward, also what do you care what some faggots you probably don't talk to even more think?

that's good advice, and now that you mention it 2 years after high school i don't even give a single fuck about anyone else from my high school apart from this one friend
