I know a guy who became a girl. Changed his name and everything. He even takes enhancement pills to help with the process. The thing is, even though he is now a girl he still likes girls not guys. So it's like he wants to be a lesbian. I've just never heard of this so it's odd to me. Anyone know if this is normal? Or know anyone similar?
Is he considered a lesbian?

Yep 
It's kind of odd to hear it the first few times, but we've pretty much all been there. What the scientific explanation for it is his brain chemistry wires him to be a girl, but his body was a genetic male. Even though he was attracted to girls, he was really she. She was actually attracted to girls, and she was a lesbian.
This isn't 'normal' per se--it's a very small population that is transexual, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. I don't have any statistics of this--but there are probably hundreds of thousands of MTF (male to female) transexuals with her story. If you want a little bit more information on what a transexual is, how to act around your transexual friend, or just so learn what makes gender tick you can read http://www.utexas.edu/diversity/ddce/gsc/faqtransgender.php.
And as everybody above me has pointed out--since 'he' identifies as female, 'she' would now be the right pronoun for her. Don't worry, everybody gets tripped up on that the first few times.
