Abstract

People who identify as transgender are bisexual and neither masculine nor feminine. Sexual
orientation has no bearing on them. They have gender dysphoria and were generally referred to as
transgender. Due to the abuse, stigma, prejudice, and lack of acceptance they endure on a regular
basis in society, they have higher rates of mental health difficulties than the general American
population. The thesis primarily examines the relationships between the main character and other
characters in Meredith Russo's book If I Was Your Girl. Rationale everyone in general population
benefits from having strong social interactions in terms of their health and wellbeing. Due to their
disadvantaged status in society, transgender people may find that having close, supportive
connections is essential to their general health and wellbeing. By using the analytical-descriptive
approach and the Aristotelian theory as support, it is evident that the main character has encountered
two distinct types of friendship, which have had an impact on her social life. The story If I Was Your
Girl depicts Andrew, the main character, as he faces hardships and eventually changes into a
transgender with a name. Friendship is based on trust, and this paper emphasizes the existence of a
transgender person in contemporary society while focusing on the moral principles that define a full
human being.
