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.

If they don't go out of their way to put a burden on trans' people lives (and I don't think they do otherwise you would have detected that pretty earlier in the decade of friendship), also remember OP that it's always easier to be LGBT-fobic when no one you know is LGBT. They'll have to measure their transphobia and their love for you in a balance. And sometimes, love wins.
