I'm so pissed right now!

[Akasa]

I have a good friend who is MTF trans and has kept it from her family. Take all those stereotypes about Southern Bible Thumpers and increase it at least x10. They would not approve, nor understand. In fact they'd disown her. They threatened to disown her for having pink hair FFS!

A person she thought was a friend, who she'd given $, used phones, A PLACE TO LIVE! Decided to out her because she's broke and can no longer funnel money into them.

I spent *3 HOURS* talking her down off the cliff!

I want to ruin this piece of shit's life!

There's a subreddit for that.

There's a subreddit for that.

When you said that I was thinking "which part?" Now I know.

I'm so sorry your friend is having to go through that.

What a horrible excuse for a human being that other person is.

It hard to say who is worse. The traitorous friend or the family.

Hugs and prayers.

Both the traitorous friend and the family are pretty reprehensible, but if I had to choose which is worse, I'd say the family. Friends may come and go, but family is supposed to be there for you no matter what. If it wasn't for the family's collective mental malfunction, the traitorous friend could not have done any real damage. Shame on the backstabbing friend and shame on the intolerant family both.

I agree, but you can't choose your family or make them change. The traitorous friend knew the OP's friend would have her life ruined if her family ever found out about her transition, took advantage of it, and outed her when she wasn't any use to her any more.

Which, sadly, seems to be something that's increasing on both a personal and professional level. People are just rude and mean and don't want to interact with others unless they serve them in some way. It makes me feel like the future is going to be pretty bleak.

Which is more reprehensible... being narrow minded religious bigots or a backstabbing weasel? I think I'd say the backstabbing weasel. After all, her family never pretended to be anything but what they are. Her 'friend' was nothing of the sort.

[MoonCat]

Also, there was no reason for the "friend" to out her except pure unadulterated meanness. What would she gain from it? Sure as hell the person being outed wouldn't ever help her out again, so she was not only vicious, she burned her bridges pretty thoroughly. Bitch.

There is no future. This election year has proved to me that the Apocalypse is at hand.

Took 3 days, but she seems lime there's no longer a crisis.

My life on the othwr hand is in tumoil.

[RootedPhoenix]

I wish I could hug your friend. What a terrible thing to do to someone.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Too bad the traitorous friend can't transition from scum to human. People like that are less than dirt.
