Hai!!! I've had the same bestie for nearly 1 and a half years and I love her to bits. The issue is she struggles heavily with dysphoria and she has a very deep voice which is kinda not fixable at the moment cause she's under 18. She comes to me for help a lot and it's not that I don't wanna help I love her and I hate seeing her sad but I just don't know what to say. I know close to nothing about trans stuff and it's hard for me to research too cause I don't actually know what I'm meant to research. She's unfortunately online so it's not like i can hug her or anything. I really wanna help her I don't wanna see her sad I don't want her to cry anymore. She deserves to be happy and it kills me to see her upset. It also doesn't help with the fact shes English and they did a whole ban thing on trans girls. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could help more or what I could research to help that would be amazing!!

i understand your concerns for her. but how are you picturing we helping her?

we can not change her parents’ thoughts, or tell the society to give her enough tolerance, which might be essential to every trans woman.

trans people must learn to deal with various tough situations, especially for a time like this. for those who can not, they fall by serious mental issues, literally.

she must learn to be strong for it, fight for her own life and her own rights, i’m sad to say, there is no other way. 😭

also she’s lucky to have you by her side. maybe your love can let her find courage in her life! (just as i did)
