I have no idea where to put this but just wanted to put it out there, good for her that she’s growing and becoming who she wants to be, but i’m no longer attracted to them, I feel like that isn’t a personal attack, she says she’s a girl, she presents as a girl, I like men, no i don’t want to resume our relationship.

?? the friends calling you transphobic are weird and getting involved for no reason, and the person wanting to resume the relationship can’t handle rejection.

irl actual trans person here: you’re not transphobic and in fact if you as a straight woman or gay man wanted to continue dating someone who is openly trans thy would be more transphobic

Trans guy here- not transphobic. You’re recognizing that she’s a woman and you’re not attracted to women 🤷🏻

Yes I fear you’re just being shamed by her best friends doing what best friends do and that’s ignore all logic for their bestie. You’re not transphobic, you’re attracted to men and she’s a woman now.

One would fucking think, yeah, unfortunately not so in this case. Not spreading hate, nothing in my post was hateful. Just getting a really absurb situation out there because I mentally cannot cope.

Idk if it can all be blamed on this. A lot of people already want to ignore transphobia
