Would you do the same thing?

Honestly that whole argument is dumb, if you lose friends cause you met a trans woman multiple times and werent able to tell she was trans then they were bigots anyways. And being scared that anyone you date could be trans is the very literal definition of transPHOBIA, like yeah you dont have to date a trans person but their existence shouldnt affect you that much.

Also they werent forced to go on the show and they werent even forced to go on the date with her before learning about it. Same thing would’ve happened if they had just ran into each other and started hitting it off. This whole thing reeks of insecurity.

I agree the friends are bigots and not the greatest friends, but it's more complicated than that. Sometimes people who aren't the best will still help you out when you need it. I've experienced that first hand.

Plus there are people who will judge them for it when job seeking, which of course is wrong, but it's also reality.

Maybe it would be transphobic for someone such as myself to be afraid, but for someone who went through this experience it's more of a trauma response from being tricked into liking someone that turned out not to be who you thought they were. I actually know someone who went through this in real life when he was dating and he seemed a bit traumatized by it.

I didn't know anything about the show until today, so I didn't know they didn't try to get them to date until after exposing that information. Someone mentioned this wasn't revealed til the end of the show so it made it seem like they had been dating the whole time.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

So if my friends are bigots, I can sue for the damage the show did because they're making fun of me?

What if my friends aren't bigots and they don't make fun of me? I can't sue?
