Did your former friend know about your contrary beliefs? If not, is she the retributive type that you would not feel “safe” if she knew about your contrary beliefs?

She knew but didn't really approve so we didn't talk about it too much. She still tried to make me meet and talk to her trans friends, to make me understand that they're "nice people" too. Which absolutely didn't work. I just felt awful because they kept trashtalking "evil terfs" and say that they were homosexual when they were just really females dating males. Just heterosexual pretending to be "queer". It was infuriating and I kept all my anger for myself, so obviously I couldn't be by her side anymore. It was meaningless.

GOOD for you! I haven’t spoken to any of my SJW/TRA friends for some years now, and I don’t miss them. I do hope I can be part of a friend group again, but not at the expense of my sanity.
