I only expect to certainly lose friends I have if I shared my actual views on the current trans issue. It's not all negative towards trans people themselves. I'd say I hold a nuanced view on it where I differentiate between people, who you could call "genuinely trans" with severe gender dysphoria resistant to any interventions than just transitioning. But I cannot treat "trans/non-binary" people who have no dysphoria or just social dysphoria (which to me is very fucking normal) seriously and I find indulging their "identity" as actually harmful. So it pains me to have a friend with "they" pronouns and refer to her as such. I hate to indulge someone in avoidance of an issue she should face - sexism, misogyny etc. and pretend somehow she is suddenly above these once she declared having "they" pronouns. Today's trans activists claim how transgender is not mental illness but to me transgender identification (which is not caused by actual clinical gender dysphoria) can induce it. This is why I feel strong uneasiness with indulging proclaimed non-binary people or non-binary characters, which are being made nowadays. I view them as confused, disturbed people, who use depersonalization from their gender as unhealthy coping mechanism.
