My best friend is transphobic (beehaw.org)

I just found out my best friend of over a decade is transphobic. I don't really have more to say. I'm just devastated and feeling really alone.

I'm so sorry.

On the opposite side from what others are saying (though I don't disagree with them), it's not your responsibility to fix them or change their mind if it would risk your safety... even if you have the means. It's a difficult position, and it could create even more resentment. You're a part of your community, but you have to keep yourself safe, too.
