My friend went on a transphobic rant in my face TW: SA
So for context ive known this friend & friend group for abt a year, ive been i thought pretty successful at stealthing. I used to be pretty close with one of them, and I'm pretty sure he had a crush on me at some point. However I stopped spending any one on one time w/ him cause he kept making rape jokes (im an SA survivor) even after I told him to stop multiple times, and would often get rlly angry at me over random stuff.
After abt a a good few months of reduced time around him he asked me why I stopped spending time around him and I told him it was cause of the rape jokes, he then accused me of being a liar, that I overblew what he said, that im too sensitive, etc. After this he basically had a big tantrum and stopped talking to everyone in the friend group, so I decided id try and just move on from it for the sake of my friends. He gave me a half hearted apology basically and idt he feels guilty abt the jokes all that much, but at least he stops himself from saying those jokes right in front of me ig.
Now comes the title of the post, basically I was on a call with a bunch of our friends, and kinda out of nowhere he starts talking abt trans people and outright asks if im trans. He also then starts saying stuff like trans women are basically still guys if they play video games and hang out with guy friends, so he was basically saying im not a real woman. Apparently one of our other friends said to him that he thought I was trans and decided to run with it. During the convo at least my other friend kinda shut down the rant he was going on and said he didnt think I was trans lol. Also the guy im dating let me vent to him a bunch after which was sweet.
Honestly though im pretty fucking anxious over this whole thing, it feels like he has a bunch of resentment towards me and idfk what to do, and it makes me feel like an ugly man cause of the shit he said.
