You are not obligated to be friends with anyone. At all! You should still try and be civil with your coworkers, but you don't have to be friends. The people who claim your boss is a "cool person to talk to" are probably just kissing ass to get a promotion :/

Especially the woman who thinks other women are just sex toys. That's so gross and sexist.

I don't think you're biased, because your boss is obviously treating you differently than everyone else. You don't dislike him because he's trans; you dislike him because he's an asshole.

I'll start distancing myself from them. We had a different boss before TiM(an ACTUAL lady boss), during that time, we were just chatting it up like normal. But...now that TiM is boss, it feels like I can REALLY see where they stand politically...Normally, I don't care much at all, that is their own business. However, the fact they excuse asshole makes me not want to talk or hangout with them much(we play videogames together online).

Yes, it really IS sexist and pissed me off honestly. I known with bisexuality, some people tend to lean more one way(for example, I'm more attracted to same-sex rather than opposite, but I still like both). But one sex for entertainment purposes...is terrible.

I'm also kinda annoyed that they complain about TiM occassionally, but ultimately say how "cool she is" and...it made me uncomfortable that...I was complaining with them, then it felt they flipped the script and it made me uncomfortable to complain about their "friend", especially since TiM is the female coworkers "cool friend" supposedly. So I told them I'll stop but they were like "Oh it's okay! We get it! If she treated us like that we'd be mad too!"....hmm...

I don't make friends with boss. I am only there to work, so I do not know HOW people make friend with EVERY boss. It's strange. But maybe I hypocrit because I've made friend with coworkers...Im going to stop diing that or be MORE precautious..I move VERY far away from home town, many kilometers...I was lonely and didn't know anyone except for my SO and a brother who invited me to live there. I have family in many different part of the world and I move A LOT. But..yeah...
