Ok, so op's secret is that the reason I don't like trans headcanons is because my boyfriend just came out as trans and I am dealing with it badly.

Also, I like pissing off sjw's on the internet because those people are my real life friends and I can't say anything I want to say to them for fear of being socially exiled.

...Are you sure you want to be friends with them, anon?..

I just want to hug you, anon. I dated someone who was, well, some degree of trans (I met him as a boy who crossdressed, but there was more to it).

Anyway, loved them to bits but it's why the relationship failed in the end.

Funny think is, they still haven't transitioned 7 years down the line. I think maybe it's a form of genderqueer, and there's some flip-flopping, but the uncertainty in the relationship became unbearable to me.

As someone who is online/offline friends with a SJW, you might want to look at getting more friends. Not as in "dump the ones I have", but just expand a bit. From experience it can be very stressful dealing with that kind of NEVER OFFEND ANYONE, CARE ABOUT ALL CAUSES EQUALLY AND AT THE SAME TIME mindset 24/7.

Different groups of friends might help you let off some steam. Not in terms of "let's bitch about my sjw friends behind their back", but in just being around different people and not having that be a central focus and/or hidden iceberg of wank/"what you just said was problematic."

I, too, had a hard time dealing with a loved one's transgender journey. (If that's an okay way to put it.) I wanted to support them, but in the end, being 100% cis, I just don't think I was capable of giving them the real understanding they needed. They didn't just need support, they needed someone who could guide them through that process.

Good news, this person has found another couple of folks who can do that for them, and we occasionally still talk about things they are working through.
