How can I support my friend who is transgender?

Just call them by their preferred pronouns, and treat them like they want to be treated, whether they're a trans* boy or trans* girl.

help him feel proud of who he or she is. dont let them think they dont fit in because of who they are. help them gain self confidence and stand up for them.

At first I have to say how happy I am about your wish to help. That's the first big step. I have a gay friend and years ago he came out. I wanted to support him, too. I think the way to help is somehow simmilar and one day he reflected our support. He told me, accepting him and treating him as a person, not a gay person, was very important to him. And the guarantee to know that there are people to depend on, still loving him, no matter what people say.

All you have to do is let them know that you are here for them, offer help with anything they may need, and use the pronouns that they would prefer :)

Be there for them and support them throughout their struggles. That's the best you can do. Hope it goes well! :)

Being transgender can be really hard, I'd definitely say be there as a friend; learn teminology so you know what's going on, do research into the different feelings or emotions they can have, and help try to get everyone to be supportive. One person advocating for them can make a world of a difference, but one important thing must be noticed... Use the right pronouns!!!

Don't assume you know what the person's experience is. Be guided by what the person tells you about their own situation, and listen without preconceived notions. Treat transgender people the same. While they may appreciate your extra attention to them, they don't particularly appreciate you making a big deal of them. Be supportive. Those who have begun to express a gender different from the one assigned at birth are usually undergoing a major life changing event. Patience, understanding, and a willingness to discuss issues these changes will bring about will help them through a difficult and emotional time

Be understanding. Try to put yourself where they are at, but unless you have felt off in your own body, you won't understand. Give them advice on transitioning; proper binder usage, hormone and testosterone treatments. And just be there in general. If they have a preferred pronoun or name, use it and if you mess up and forget, apologize. Make sure you completely understand where they stand in their transitioning.

You should foremost keep this in mind to call them by their preferred names. Secondly, you should use the right pronouns for them. Thirdly please correct anyone who isn't using the right name or pronoun. And lastly be there for them to lean on.

Make sure you fully understand Transgender culture. This could really help your friend feel accepted
