Gay FtM who likes his gay friend

So Im FTM Trans and gay, and there's a boy I like whom I've known for years (Im still pre-transition) And he came out as gay about a month ago.

how do I tell him I like him? I feel like I'd never be good enough, but I have the biggest crush on him that I can't ignore!!

I'd like to think that he would never judge me based on my genitalia, But I don't know. I've heard so many horror stories of trans men being hit on by cis gay men, only to have them find out and reject them..
Note: He knows I'm trans, and is very happy for me, and proud, Maybe 'm just too paranoid?
