Q&A: About helping a cross-dressing friend in pain?

Question by : About helping a cross-dressing friend in pain?
A friend of mine has confided in me about cross-dressing. He is married and has two kids, little kids. His wife is aware of the cross dressing, but not the extent of his obsession.
He won’t go to therapy because he is afraid of therapy. Does any one know of any resources in the Baltimore or Washington DC area for therapists- support groups – anything?
I understand that he is in a terrific amount of pain, but I am not a therapist. I am afraid that letting him talk to me about it is enabling him from figuring out what to do.
To be clear, I 100% support him dressing as a woman. I think that cross-dressing is fine. I just don’t know why he hasn’t already come out and I don’t know how to help him transition.
I kind of think that his refusal to see a therapist who can help him figure out whether he really wants to or not is because he doesn’t really want to. But, I just don’t know. I don’t have any other friends but him with this problem.
Please send me links and resources as well as your opinion on how I can help him.
He wants to come out as a woman now. He wants to get a new job and start working as a woman. It is not my idea.
You are right that it is none of my business, he comes to me. He contacts me at least fifty times per day. I do not contact him.
I am trying to help him. I don’t care how anyone dresses.
Again, to be clear – It is not me who thinks he should start living as a woman – it is his idea. Entirely his. I support him either way – he is my friend no matter what he wears.

Why do you think he needs to “come out”?
He’s a cross-dresser, not gay..A cross dressing man, just likes to dress in womens clothes.
99% are otherwise Hetrosexual..
If he doesn’t want therapy, leave him alone.. probably fine just the way he is.
And it’s really none of your business…

Question by sshaver28: Can I sue some one for negligence and pain and suffering in New York for a auto accident that was there fault?
I was in a rear end accident in New York (No Fault insurance) the other parties insurance took full blame and totaled the car, they offered me the value of the car (even though i currently have a lean on the car from where I purchased it and owe about twice that amount) can I sue her for the difference? I was stopped in a line of traffic for a stopped school bus when the person behind me failed to stop and hit me in the rear end going around 30 -40mph. I may not be seriously injured, bumps and bruises (whiplash) I have to go to physical therapy 3 times a week for four weeks, currently taking muscle relaxing medication and sleeping pills because of it and am out of work because of it now. If there is nothing broke and just bumps and bruises can I still sue in New York State?

New York has what is called threshold requirements for injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents. If all you have is bumps and bruises, you would not meet the requirements needed to sue.

Question by xoxokarenxo: What are the steps in suing someone for pain suffering/negligence?
Im planning on suing my lawyer for negligence….what steps do i have to do to pursue this? What do i do first can some help me please?…My story is below if you are wondering…
story: I live in the State of New York. I live in a apartment build, well it is a house with two apartments. There is only one entrace and that is the same entrace you use to exit. Before you can go inside the apartment, you got to step on to the porch. The porch used to have two post for you to hold on to. But now it has one. because the porch is no good….and that post had rot off until it just broke off. Instead of the landlord/owner fixing it, which would probably take up 10-15minutes of his time and a few nails and screws. he just layed it along side the porch. It has been broken since Sept of 2006. It is now winter over here and the steps on the porch steps has ice and snow and it is very slippery. One morning i was walking off of the porch and slipped and broke my arm. If that post was there i could of had some support to hold on to so i wouldnt have fallen, but that wasnt there and i landed on my arm and broke it.Also if i have pictures and people such as the mail carrier and other tenants to back my story up about it being broken since Sept. of 2006.
What would i do first?…How would my landlord know im suing him? Would my lawyer contact him or something?
Best answer:
Answer by Susie D
What I would do first is call my landlord and discuss the situation with him or her rationally, and ask about their insurance to cover my medical expenses and a reasonable settlement for suffering and inconvience. If (and only if ) that failed I would contact an attorney to have myself made financially whole.
Why must everyone sue before talking?
