My best friend is transphobic (beehaw.org)

I just found out my best friend of over a decade is transphobic. I don't really have more to say. I'm just devastated and feeling really alone.

this could be a great opportunity to change someone’s outlook in a positive way.

It could, but I don't have the energy to educate people these days. I might send them some links if I really cared about them, but I have too little time and energy to politely explain for the millionth time that sex != gender. Same reason I don't have the energy to educate flat earthers.

But if they are really close friends it might be worth it.
