None, because she's not in my skin and can't begin to know what this is about or what it's like. I don't judge anybody at all for how they ID or live their life. It's none of my business, yet I am constantly dealt shit. Why? I'm done-absolutely fucking done with her. You don't have to get it..but you do have to respect it with me.

(((((Jet))))) There are far too many here on the site that have had similar experiences. I know this will not do much to ease your pain, anger, frustration and disappointment with your friend but this is about her not you. Perhaps she just needs time?
