We all have our close-knit group of friends, but what happens when one of them goes through a significant life change? In this case, a group of friends who have been together since primary school are faced with a dilemma when one of their own, Angie (not her real name), transitions from male to female. The boys used to invite Angie to their Boy’s Nights, but now that she’s transitioned, they’ve stopped including her. They thought they were being supportive, but Angie and her sister don’t see it that way. Let’s dive into this emotionally charged story.
