It's a tough thing. Being transgender is hard and it terribly sucks that this longtime friend can't see that you're still YOU no matter what gender you are. And of course she seems to have no respect for your feelings for your partner which is something that friends need to have or they can't remain your friend. I'd hate to lose a longtime best friend but if someone I knew for a while came between me and by beloved I already know I would not be able to stay civil to them.

It sounds like you have already been drifting apart so perhaps some time apart is for the best. Maybe it will help you both feel better about being friends or perhaps you will find that being apart is best and stop being friends.

I hope things go well for you Desmond, I really do.
