    I'm trans*female, and a few months ago, I accepted the fact that I'm in love with a friend of mine. But I recently found out that she has been in love with a friend of hers for a while, and I don't know what to do. I know that she is a lesbian, but I'm not even sure if that includes transgirls too. I would think so, but I'm scared to ask. Should I tell her how I feel? Or should I just live with it?

    I kinda know how you feel. I have a crush on my best friend, but I know that she has no interest in me in that way, and she constantly flirts with other guys and girls. With your particular situation, I don't know what to say. However, sometimes you just have to accept that you have to move on. As hard as it sounds, sometimes you have to move on. Don't take this as me discouraging you from telling her your feelings, I am just telling you that sometimes it doesn't work out. Good luck!

    Yeah, maybe you're right. My mind is telling me to move on but my heart doesn't want to. I just wanted a few opinions on it. Thanks for your reply.

    That's exactly how I feel. I would literally spend evenings listening to love songs thinking about her! It has been hard, but I have slowly been able to move on. Again, best off luck!

    Same here. I even wrote a love song for her. But I suppose I can try to move on. Thanks again!

    I would think telling her would help you get over it sooner if she rejects you.

    I was thinking the same thing, but at the same time I don't want to ruin our friendship.

    That is my main concern with my best friend too. I don't want to make it awkward between us.

    Exactly. I guess at this point telling her might jeopardize our friendship. But it might not. The question is, is it worth the risk? That's what I'm still trying to figure out.
