All right, groomsman. Become a groomswoman. Groomsman became a groomswoman.
Hey, Billory Swank. I'm getting married this summer to my beautiful girlfriend
of eight years.
We're having a family small wedding, so I was planning on inviting my three
best friends from
high school to be my groomsman. One of my friends, Anna, came out as trans over
a year ago, and we
all support and respect her decisions. I invited her in January to be one of my
groomspeople
along with my other two guy friends. All right, so what's the problem? However,
just this past week,
one of my guy's friends also came out as trans. What the fuck? And plans to be
transitioning from
male to female. Now my groomsman went from being one woman and two guys to two
women and just one guy.
I was already stepping out of my comfort zone by inviting Anna to be a groomsperson,
and now I feel
like I can't uninvite the other guy because I already told Anna she could join.
Yeah, and this is
another thing too. This is something that you would really get trashed for, for
being like
transphobic and all that. You're just being honest. Okay? These are two people
that you knew
as guys who are no longer guys, and now you have to emotionally deal with it.
There's nothing wrong
with that. You're not saying what they're doing is wrong. You're just saying it
made you uncomfortable.
For some reason, you can't say that now, or you can say it and everybody gets
all, you're fucking
homophobic. Anyway, it's less about, or transphobic, it's less about them being
trans and more about
just me not wanting to be surrounded by women during the ceremony. I'm a pretty
traditional guy,
despite my friends, and I've always imagined the classic group of groomsmen at
my side for my wedding.
Also not to mention, Tim just recently started transitioning at a 6'3". It
might look a little
out of place in a dress. All right, you're walking a line here. Just invite,
just, you know, expand your
draft picks. Pay for a couple more meals. Get some more fucking swinging dicks
in there. You got some
dresses. I think you got a nice salad going on there. I love my friends, but I
just don't want to be
the focus to be about them on our wedding. I asked the person if they'd feel
comfortable in a suit for
the ceremony, and they said probably, but may change their mind closer to the
wedding. Is it wrong for
me to put my foot down and just say they need to wear a suit or step out of the
groomsman party?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and also go fuck yourself. Well, you
know,
this is one of these things where a wedding is her day, and what you're doing
right now is really
bride behavior. Like, you're picking the colors you want to know how they dress,
and I don't know,
if we're really going to be progressive, if the woman can do that, can't the
guy do that?
This is what I say you do. I say that, you know, you have the wedding that you
want to have,
because it is your wedding, and the way you want to have it is the way that you
want to have it,
and, you know, you don't seem like you have a problem with what these guys are
doing,
and now that are now women, the they's, whatever the fuck you're supposed to
say, so
I would just try to have the wedding that you want to say. Everybody's still
fucking invited.
Not the wedding you want to say, the wedding that you want to have, and then
just take it from there.
I mean, personally, I'm trying to think. I don't know. I don't know that. I
haven't been through
what you've been through. Like, if I had, like, two of my close friends that I
was growing up with,
all of a sudden, we're transitioning. I mean, that's a fucking major thing.
I would think emotionally to deal with, because it's like the other person
doesn't exist anymore.
You know? So you've got to kind of take time to process that, which is
something I think is missing
in all of that, because I really think, you know, you should support somebody
if that's what they
want to do, and still be friends with them, and all that type of shit, and then
I think, conversely,
they should give you a second, you know, to be like, okay, let me get my head
around this thing,
you know? So, yeah, but I think in the end, dude, this is your wedding. This is
your wedding,
and you should have your wedding the way you want it to be, and the way that
you want it to look,
and everything, and I think if you're still going to be friends with them, and
all of that shit,
and you're not being going, oh my God, that's against God, and all that dumb
shit,
I think this is a small ask to be like, can you just wear a suit? I don't think
that's a big
fucking deal. I really don't. Or maybe you slide them over to the other side,
they become
bridesmaids, and you know, with any luck, two of the chicks transition over to
your side,
you know what I mean? It's like a fucking NFL trade. Two for two!
