Incidentally and probably a little off topic, that was when She was still a He... (I'm still struggling with that one)

Similarly off topic, but this probably happens more often than you might think.

    I'm sure it does, but I still find it a little difficult to deal with, it almost felt like a bereavement. Whilst I accept fully that She is and really always was really female, I still found myself, during a recent phone call, wanting to ask to speak to my friend... as if I was talking to His sister or something.

    Also knowing what a sardonic chap She used to be, whenever I look at a picture of Her as She is now, I can't help but feel like it's all some big joke... like any minute He is going to tell me it was all a prank or something. I know that is not the case in reality, but yeh the news is still sinking in, and hence why I mentioned it because when She was giving input to aXML She was a He and a very close friend and like I said I felt almost bereaved of my friend, albeit with the consolation of an almost exact replacement who is now much more comfortable with Him..er Herself.

    If that makes any sense at all, probably not.
