It's hard.

How do you begin writing about how your best friend for most of your life has told you that he feels he needs to change gender?

Do you know?

How is all that going?`
ghostwritten:
It's going, I suppose.

I maintain a certain skepticism about the issue which troubles me. I don't want to think that it's all a ploy for attention, but... there we are. I believe that transgenderism is legimitate; I just suspect my friend is not truly a candidate for it.

How horrible is that?

I've known my best friend for nearly twenty years. I'd like to say I saw this coming. You'd think someone who'd known a person for such a length of time would. This is the nature of my dilemma.
sockpuppet:
If I may ask, since what age? I remain aware that (for instance) Oscar Wilde fathered two children on his wife, before his later awkwardnesses. There are other examples. People change as they age.

"Love is so amazing..."

What a load of hooey... no?

No. Not when it's sung by the one person who can pull off such a line (and it IS a line, isn't it? "Love is so amazing", indeed. Who tries that, seriously?)

Apparently, I did. Or have.

I would have. Or have had.

"Cycle on your bicycle" sounds a pretty stupid lyric, yes, but in context, it works, somehow.

That's a lot of commas in one sentence.

ah, what does "kotcheled" mean? and in what language? (From Yiddish, I'd guess?)
ghostwritten:
"Kotcheled"? Comes from a Shamen lyric to 'Ebeneezer Goode'. Do the Shamen boys speak Yiddish? Dunno. I'd like to think so.

"Where is my God? He lives inside of me."

I think I can accept that.
sockpuppet:
I feel no need for god.
ghostwritten:
I don't, either. I'm an atheist, and thus don't believe in an afterlife, so I'm not living for reward after I die.

I was just spinning Stevie Wonder (Fulfillingness' First Finale, specifically), whom I love and who loves God quite a lot himself. I do have a weird jealousy for those who are secure in their faith which gives them real joy and contentment. It's a small jealousy, though; I'm just as secure in my perspective and find it quite comfortable to behave in accordance with my moral code without God.

So, essentially, what you said.
