So, one of my group's lifelong friends ended up dating a chick who we eventually found out is hardcore into gender studies &amp; intersectionality &amp; all that shit.

Unfortunately my friend has always been a hopeless romantic &amp; basically *needs* a relationship to function, so naturally he stood by literally anything she demanded.

Well long story short she basically decided the rest of us, aka his lifelong friends of over ~20yrs+, weren't woke enough to be associated with them &amp; so he ended up completely shutting us out &amp; basically pretends we don't exist anymore

Even I, who had only ever been polite to her &amp; shared a friggin office with my bestie got shut out for not... Being gay enough or something? 

She's since become a "him" &amp; had a sex change. He literally quit it job &amp; blocked us all from FB because of her. We haven't seen or spoken to Andrew in years now. 


I'll never forgive that bitch for the harm she's caused, all because she wanted attention. She used to talk about people be "toxic" but I can't imagine anything more toxic then destroying part of what was(is) basically a family. Not to mention making us all prejudice vs people like her in the fear we'll have a other repeat 


The issue I have is you're not allowed to call people out on their bullshit. They basically get rewarded for it &amp; to say otherwise makes you a bigot. Her life &amp; personality revolved around being gay

Sorry I had to rant. I miss my friend


Edit: just to clarify my point on not being able to call their BS, people with mental health issues are getting put on a podium instead of the help they need. There are legitimate reasons for gender dysmorphia but imo the vast majority show major attention seeking behavior &amp; just want to drag everyone down with them

While your example is squarely on topic, the phenomenon is nothing new. We used to call them whipped. The problem is the only women who can fill the role the guy wants (and make no mistake, he's not trapped) are these narcissist solipsistic types. Same with women who seek dominant types and end up in abusive relationships.

What makes your example so egregious is that she is clearly following the ideology as a means of power and respect. She's shitting all over those who seek the protection or comfort of these advocacy groups by mimicry.

That you lost your friend is tragic. That you lost your friend to *her* is where it stings.
