<She's always gushing about how she's in a queer relationship and dating a "beautiful lady" and calling him a her. >

The modern world has become the strangest bragging contest ever. When I was much younger, other young women would boast "Oh my bf is so kind; he always brings me gifts; he never forgets our anniversary; he is so understanding; he's such a good listener" -- those were the things that impressed other females. Then someone pressed the Bizarro Button and young women wanted to boast "Oh my bf is actually my gf and we're in a lesbian relationship; he and I share a wardrobe; I'm bipolar and he's on hormones; if you don't join me in my delusions, you are NOT my friend" -- If someone could please press "restore original factory settings," that would be great.

Sorry you're losing a friend, but life is SHORT (you don't realize how short when you're young) and you need every precious moment to accomplish things and do positive things, not be dragged into a gender-insanity cesspool.

My bf is pretty non-conforming and we actually do share some of the same wardrobe hahaha. But luckily he's sane and totally happy as a GNC man and hasn't been convinced to call himself a woman just because he likes to be pretty sometimes.

I agree, I want this insanity to stop being so damn normalized. As a young 20s chick in the most liberal city in the world, I can't quite escape it, especially since with a glance you'd assume I'm the same way (as in there are many liberal things about me.)

Back in the day when I was in my 20s, I had a friend who was super obsessive about her ex boyfriend and would do things like sneak up to his window at night and take infrared photos of him and the new gf. She also kicked down his door once. I ended the relationship though not specifically for those behaviours so I know how difficult crazy friends can be and what a toll it takes. You hit the nail of the head when you state she doesn't want to deal with reality. Anyone who doesn't want to deal with reality will only go further in a dark hole. I think they both need counselling.

Given your age I interested knowing whether you have a memory of a before time, where you and your friends wouldn't be aware of trans issues.

Yeah when I met her she was a regular girl. Much cooler and way less pretentious.
