i think i offended my trans friend and i feel bad pls help
okay so backstory, i have this friend let’s call him jamie, jamie has a girlfriend who i’ve known longer and actually went to elementary school with, (we’re all 09’s) let’s call his gf Brittany, brittany had told me that jamie is actually trans, something she and the rest of the friend group had speculated about quietly but when they started dating she asked him about it, he told her but she mentioned to me that he doesn’t like talking about it so not to bring it up or to tell him that she told me ( it’s not insanely obvious btw that he’s trans, you only notice when you pay attention like when you hug him and feel the binder under his shirt but he has a deeper voice and is generally masculine) i never spoke to jamie about this because brittany asked me not too but last night jamie posted a silly tiktok about an eye brow slit be gave himself so i jokingly commented “you kinda look like a masc lesbian”, totally, completely a joke but when i checked tiktok later i saw he responded to my comment saying “i hate this” then took the video down and i feel so fucking horrible. so i texted him asking him if he took it down because of my comment and apologizing to him before i realized its almost 3 am he’s not going to answer because he’s asleep but im still nervous and worried i made him uncomfortable. if any trans people or something could give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated. also he doesn’t know that i know he’s trans. thank u!!
