"Does BSF stand for "best straight friend"?" It's just short for "best friend". (But she is straight lol) And I know how you feel I haven't been around openly gay people until I moved to the big City, I love how no one gives any fucks. I still am able to talk controversially to her I know she knows I'm smart and reasonable so she'd most likely understand but I can't straight up say "trans identities are bullshit". But I was able to rant about everything to my other best friend and she agreed 100% (But I had to keep it not too "terfy")

It’s good that there are topics where you can be honest with your friend. But if she shows signs of being fed up with this transgender shit, assure her that it’s okay for her to be frustrated. Don’t push anything on her, just let her vent.

Don’t push anything on her, just let her vent.

I think this is wise advice. She has to do this learning at her own speed and when she's comfortable. Doing it does, after all, put one squarely in the crosshairs of a whole pile of potential abusers.
