I'd like to comfort a friend who is transitioning to a different gender. Do you have any suggestions?

I'd start by listening to them, showing you're open and willing to listen is the best form of comfort. Show them you're ready to learn as much as you can about the experience. Let them talk and ask questions. Acknowledge their feelings and validate them, it takes courage to embark on this journey and their feelings are valid. Additionally, offer your support, it's a difficult transition and anything you can do to help makes a difference. Lastly, be patient, it may be an emotional journey and offer patience and kindness along the way.
