Really, just be there for him. It's a long process that requires many doctor's vists and a good deal of counseling to actually begin to transition in most states and counteries. You can be honest about what you think (You think it’s not a good idea, and that’s fair.) but try not to judge. Your own feelings of 'more' for him, shouldn't be allowed to get in the way.
It’s always good to let a friend know your honest opinion, but after you’ve said it, sit back and just be a friend. You never know, this might be the right thing for him, despite how confusing and difficult his life has been, it still might be right. Take a deep breath, tell him you think he shouldn’t do it, and then love him anyways. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
