We went to a gay club. A man was being really creepy and grabbed at me and other girls. Only club I’ve ever experienced this at. My “friend” keeps saying how safe that bar was. When I mention what happened she’s all “BuT iTs A gAy ClUb”.

Sounds like your “friend” forgets that a gay club doesn’t mean everyone in there is 100% attracted to the same sex (as in there’s still a chance a guy has interest in girls for example) AND that creepy guys aren’t an exclusively straight thing. Also gotta love the “allies” that won’t even do the bare minimum to support the LGBT community like leaving the gay clubs alone and not invading the space because it’s “safer”.

Maybe not this specifically, but other people point it out too. She very much trying to be a social justice warrior but she gets aggressive towards people in the groups she’s trying to protect and just doesn’t help

She also says that I can’t have an opinion on trans rights bc “you’re not trans” so I told her to stay out of LGBTQIA+ issues bc she’s only an ally. My opinion was proper therapy should be more accessible and required before permanent surgery because we had a trans friend get surgery and then they were diagnosed/medicated with schizophrenia and hate what happened. They weren’t able to get proper therapy prior. My friend said TO THEIR FACE “no you’re trans, you wanted surgery”

Like this wasn’t an opinion I just said to say, my friend was literally bashing our other friend who was going through that, saying “I don’t understand she’s trans, she should be happy, I tell everyone about my brave trans friend” as if that person wasn’t falling apart and felt scared while also trying to come to terms with what happened/their diagnosis. Sorry this rant doesn’t have much to do with the original post but this is just kinda a shit person basically

What bothers me even more is like genuinely gone to other clubs with her were absolutely nothing happened to either of us. But yet this was the safest she felt when I was being assaulted. Also, at a lot of these clubs, I am basically taking care of her like she’s a fucking child, she says she turns off her brain when she’s with me. Girl I got assaulted in front of you.

Yeah I think you just need to stop inviting her to go clubbing with the rest of you.

There’s honestly so much with this person that I’m probably gonna end up stopping being friends with her.

i know exactly the type of girl you’re talking about. the kind of person to go out with me as a trans girl and expect me to protect them while ignoring the fact that i am also at very significant risk being trans in public

I’m so glad that people sort of have similar experiences because I was genuinely starting to wonder if maybe I was just a horrible friend but I’m glad to hear other people get frustrated with stuff like this

I also am just considering dropping her because she’s genuinely a risk for me. She’s almost out of me to people that I wasn’t ready to come out to at all and it kind of stresses me out to have her near people. It’s not like these people would be mad about it or anything, but I’m just not ready because I haven’t known them long enough.
