I didn't want to start a new thread, so I did a "search" and this title (though the thread content is rather bizarre ...) seemed the most appropriate to post to to share a new (for me) situation.
Many old troopers on the TS/LB scene on this forum (but will they all come back and pay? ...), so I thought I'd float this and if any of you (old and new troopers alike) are interested, your comments are appreciated.
I've been an admirer of the transgendered "forever", but I feel like a "newbie" now. Here's why:
When in the LOS, I always meet up with some of the gurls I've known over the years. The other day I was on the phone with one of them who had just completed a number of months as a monk (as many Buddhists in Thailand do --- that for the sake of anyone unfamiliar with the culture still). She said she had had lots of time to think during that time as a monk, and she has decided to stop being a LB and will be a man from now on (so now I switch to "he" when I refer to this person).
I have always enjoyed this person's company (hard for me as I write this to use "he", "him, "his" --- interesting ...) in AND out of bed. This is someone I feel comfortable with (no GF pressure --- it is what it is), have a good time with and just plain like as a person. So, he (there I've used it ...) asks about meeting up. I hesitate for a split-second, but recover quickly and say of course we'll meet up. And we will ... my (selfish) concern is how I will react to this guy who I have only known as a hot (hot to me, of course) gurl.
I've never experienced this before, so can I be cool with it, I ask myself. A kind of test of my humanity --- if I liked this person as a person before, why should his appearance make any difference? What if he suggests we go to bed as we always have? I am just not into sex with males (non-judgmental --- it is just not me ... AND LBs are male, yes, but not really ... we all(?) here(?) know what I mean ...). So, do I lose this person's acquaintance over something like appearance? Wouldn't that be as superficial as dropping a bro who'd gained a lot of weight since the last monger there together? I wouldn't do that, I am happy to say, but will I be the same with this guy? And what about the part of me that is curious to see what he looks like as a male now? --- is that the voyeur in me objectifying him?
In all my years involved in the TS scene, I've never experienced this. Of course, we know anecdotally that as the LBs age they may revert to their male versions of their selves and go back to their hometown, for example, but I've just never known someone who did it. This is quite different --- this is a person I have known for a number of years and whom I like as a person.
A day in the Life ...

Everyone is happy. And I continued to see her every trip, because the sex was hot and she was fun.
Very lucky 
I'd be carrying around guilt (interesting projection of self, EM 
...). His take on how to handle it is one way, of course, and I appreciate your time and effort of reading and posting, EM.
