>brother & I have a mutual friend

>friend becomes a MtF tranny.

>no mutilated genitals (yet) but he’s ruining his brain with hormones & drugs

>other friends hide him from the 2 of us because we’re vaguely religious & right-wing.

>find out anyway

>confront him

>tell him we’ll be there for him even though we think being a tranny is a dumb idea.

>friend takes it well, we continue to hang out.

>very soon the novelty of his transition wears off and other friends shun him for being awkward.

>brother & I are his only friends in the world.

>he moves far away because of work

>still keep in touch over phone & internet

>friend’s mental health is plummeting.

I have no idea how to even talk to him about this. He is convinced beyond all reasoning that being a girl is the only right decision he ever made. Would it have been better to have put the pressure on him instead of being gentle in the beginning? How do I make it up to him now? I love my friend but it feels like there is nothing I can do to help him.

If I show him any support it drives him further into this delusion. If I pressure him it will just make him feel even more alone and oppressed, and might push him over the edge.

He’s getting deeper into degenerate circles in his new town (LA/San Diego area). I feel called to help him but nothing seems to work, and in my heart I feel I will be Judged for failing to show him the right kind of love.

Prayer gives me this: I need to get my s— together to the point I can be a shelter for him when his life takes another dive, and then I can help him. To be a refuge and a good example.

The Lord will not mislead you. Just the fact that your prayers earn His counsel is already comforting. Be there for your friend when he returns. Even if you can't prevent self harm at this point, your support may well save your friend's life, if not his soul. Call and check on him sometimes, but with caution. Don't point the error of his ways or show any form of disgust unless the Lord so tells you. By His providence your friend will see everything for himself, and when he sees it, he'll need true friends and brothers in Christ.

You already loved him by confronting.

He has free will though, maybe he returns like the prodigal son, maybe not.

You dont have to feel its your responsibility.

Prayer and being a good example is the best you can do.
