So sorry. I think most people have swallowed everything the trans activists work for: that they are killed at the highest rate of all (not true), that they are most oppressed (depend on place and time and what we compare to), that trans rights are exactly like gay and Lesbian rights and those are just (trans rights are gouged by force from women's rights, nobody lost anything when gays and Lesbians got more rights), and that all trans people are like the very few old-time transsexuals who truly are few and don't try to dominate everything. So most people think we are heartless, cruel, miserable transphobes.

The reality is so much more complicated, but until I started researching it I was firmly (or somewhat) on the other side, too. It was only really when I saw that all or words were taken away and questioning that meant tervendom that I began to change.

I hope your friend learns wisdom and that you can patch things up one day.
