Struggling with trans friend

I have a friend (male) who has decided that they are actually female.

They’ve felt this way for many years now and confided in me and have not told anyone else. Recently had their first gender clinic appointment and have been told that the clinic will not help until they have at least tried to present as female (so far they have messed about with some clothes and makeup alone at home but never gone out in public)

Anyway they recently approached me and asked if I would help pick an outfit, do makeup and help with hair and then go out with them trying to present as female.

The problem is I just can’t do it. Fundamentally I don’t truly believe that we can change sex and I feel like I’m supporting a weird fantasy. Not sure what I want from this thread, I seem to be the only GC person in my friendship group and I feel like I’m a horrible person for potentially denying someone something they really want.

You keep asking questions which are addressed by my previous posts - multiple times!

"Why are you bringing homosexuality into this?

Read my post further up this page. I'm not explaining it a fourth time.

"What do you think needs to happen to ‘100% prove it’ over and above what we already know?"

Have a think about how medical or psychological conditions are proven. There was a time when people often thought an epileptic fit was caused by bewitchment. What changed?

I'm not going to explain this to you like you're five years old.

You keep jumping between comparing transgenderism to homosexuality, which isn’t a medical or psychological condition and autism, which is.

You then claimed that acceptance of homosexuality is purely down to the behaviour of the different groups. I asked you to provide a basis for this thinking and to explain the gaping holes in your theory. Obviously you can’t.

You said:

However, with the latter there is more resistance simply because the trans lobby are taking the piss with their demands

None of what you say makes any sense and you make no attempt to explain or evidence your rather mind blowing (and pretty homophobic) claims.

It seems like this faulty logic is the reason why you can’t answer my questions. We have had exactly the same opportunity to understand transsexualism or transgenderism as we have for homosexuality. It’s not down to the behaviour of the people with this characteristic.

You being rude to me just underlines your lack of coherent argument.
