I realise that I'm probably going to be shot down for this but here we go.

I have been having some disagreements with a semi close friend about trans issues recently.
For context I grew up in West Hollywood which is the lgbtq epicentre of LA so grew up around queer and trans people all of my life while also being a bisexual woman.

Recently my friend has come up with some pretty transphobic opinions about gender and when I lightly confronted her about them she just said It was her form of feminism. Am I in the wrong for being offended or am I right?

Oh dear. This hasn’t proven to be a successful trip.

@SonEtLumiere

Is it possible that your friend was equally offended by your views? What do you think would be the best way for friends to resolve their differences on issues like this.

Obviously, because I don’t know what was said I cannot know whether her view or your’s resonates more with me. Could you expand on what was said and where you personally see the Transphobia.

Oooh new quote function

It's not on the app yet, but is for everyone, not just premium members!

Oh, that’s good, because I’m currently broke. 😁

EmpressLangClegInChair · 26/05/2020 19:57

It will be interesting to see which Twitter account the screenshots show up on.

LillianBland · 26/05/2020 19:59

I think they’re going to be very disappointed with this fishing trip. 😁

EmpressLangClegInChair · 26/05/2020 20:01

I bet they’ll think it’s a right load of pollocks, Lillian.

FloralBunting · 26/05/2020 20:22

Oooh, fish puns on the fly. Is that what's on the line here, chums? Is levity inappropriate? I wonder what would tip the scales. We could keep going to the end of thread and see if we could fillet with fishy humour. But it would only really catch the imagination if we could organize the last post as

FIN.

LillianBland · 26/05/2020 20:26

I know the OP is feeling like a right pollock, but eel get over it.

Pertella · 26/05/2020 20:37

Just waiting for the 'new poster' to say something a bit dodgy to generate the required screenshots now.

Plaicemarking as I can't.

LillianBland · 26/05/2020 21:12

I’m surprised OP hasn’t Bream back, I thought they’d be sticking around in order to carp on at us.

FloralBunting · 26/05/2020 21:12

Perhaps the OP will return to school us properly.

LillianBland · 26/05/2020 21:14

I’m beginning to believe they aren’t who they say they are and were just here to catfish.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 26/05/2020 21:16

I agree. Salmon’s having us on.
