I live in a very conservative state. It seems like even the most liberal of my friends are pretty damn conservative and I feel like I'm at the end of my rope with my friends. We have a best friend group. 4 of us. My ex was one of them and recently told me that trans people are mentally ill, trying to get children on hormones etc. I am no longer friends with her, but its created a rift in our friend group. My long time friends of more than 15 years are a couple. When I came out as a trans girl they supported me. Told me they'd always love me etc. Last night, my best friend's wife says "You wouldn't like me if you knew how I felt about trans people" - She proceeded to say she doesn't hate trans people, but she thinks its bullshit trans people are trying to get people's children on dangerous hormones with no consent from their parents and all this other bullshit. She tells me all this stuff about how she has had trans friends and loves trans people etc, but the de-transition rates are high. etc etc etc. It felt horrible. I stood up, didn't say anything at all. Just listened and watched the stars. (Saw 7 shooting stars which was cool) - Woke up today and left camp without saying much to her. I finally feel enough distance between this friend group to leave the state which feels freeing, but breaks my freaking heart. I don't know how to proceed in the friendship. Any advice redditors?
