What is one to do?

I have no one in my life to talk/tell this as no one would understand. I am a 32 female. I have this male friend (31) that we have been friends for around 10 years. Within those ten years, we were in and out of contact with eachother. Recently our paths have crossed again quite drastically and we talk constantly. Feelings are developing between us and I enjoy talking to him, seeing him. He makes me laugh and feel good. It has been YEARS since I have felt this way about someone.

The thing is, he is a femboy and wants to start taking hormone pills.

I knew he wore womens clothing because he would post it online, and recently found out about him wanting to take hormone pills(not sure what they are called) to become more feminine. I am a very open person, I am willing to try this if we happen to get serious but my problem is, everyone else in my life. Family and friends would be utterly shocked. I'm not sure if I could tell them if we ended up getting serious. My family is very judgmental. My friends would not know how to take this.

I feel like I shouldn't care what others thinks because it is MY life. I'm not losing sleep over it because it's nothing serious yet but it does sit in the back of my head.

Just needed to talk about this somewhere. Not sure what to gain from this but it feels good to atleast have it put somewhere.
