In Avana-esque fashion, my friend Jesse broke the news to his Facebook that he has become a transgender woman named "Rachel" (I think that's a boring fucking name but whatever). I just saw her like 2 weeks ago and he had a full-on man beard at the time. Now she's a chick. ("he"/"she" terms confuse the fuck out of me now) She's talking about growing breasts and wearing dresses and all that stuff. I never knew Adam Vana before she became Avana. How does one adjust to the new change? Just act normal? I'm not sure how I'm going to react the next time I see her. It's like meeting a different person altogether.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Jokes?

My only real comment is.... why the fuck would she need to change her name?

Good point. My only guess is she wanted to make a clear distinction that she is in fact a girl now, whereas Jesse can be both.

I'm having hard time believing someone who wants to change into a woman would wear a beard. Also is that possible if she's taking hormones ?

I don't think she has started hormone treatments yet.

Growing breasts and wearing dresses does not "make" someone a man or a woman. That's because a trans woman is already a woman.

I don't know what you mean by "act normal". They simply act like who they've always been, or who they always felt they were. Perhaps a little more comfortably and confidently than before their transition.

What do you mean you don't know what I mean by "act normal"? I've known this guy for years and all of a sudden he's a chick. It's kind of a strange transition to me, it's not like I can just flip a switch and see that he's always been a woman. It's going to take some time to get used to.

And no I'm not posting her FB link.

Act the same way you'd act if anyone enacted some drastic and sudden change upon their appearance - like if someone famed for their long hair came back from the barber one day with a crew cut, perhaps.
