I've known my friend (let's call her J) for about a year. I tell her everything and she tells me everything too. J's bi and a tran, she told me that recently and I totally support her and she knows it. It never changed my feelings for her. J is very caring and she worries about me a lot. (Mainly cause I have a messed up family) We text almost every night and it's really the only reason I get up in the morning. I'm so sick of her not knowing, I've tried to stop thinking about her in that way, but it's just not happening. I just don't know how to tell her. HELP!

I think you should just be honest with her. Take her for a walk, or do something both of you and try to try to her about it after. Tell her how you feel and only hope that she feels the same. If she doesn't, then respect her decision and say that you'd still like to be friends (if that's what you want). You won't know until you tell her.

You are just going to have to gather some courage and ask her, and what do you mean both of you are girls, doesn't "tran" means tranny? A guy that dresses like a girl?

I think you do need to tell her how you feel, but it's a risk. You are already in a very close relationship and it would be a shame to risk that for the sake of moving things on. Is there a way you might broach the subject without coming right out and saying it? I would probably casually ask her if she found me attractive and go from there, if she is waiting for an opportunity to be with you she might pick up on this and give you an opening to say that you find her attractive too. If you keep this discussion casual you can back track if it doesn't seem a comfortable question for her or she seems embarrassed or evasive
