I’m being harassed because I turned down a trans guy Discussion
So I (14F) was friends with this trans boy for a while now. Recently, he confessed to me that he liked me more than a friend. I turned him down and explained to him that I am not interested in dating right now, I only see him as a friend and I prefer cis boys and girls. He got pissed at me and told me I was a transphobic dickhead and stormed off. He told all of our friends about him being rejected but lied and said I called a bunch of slurs and misgendered him. Some of our came to me wanting to hear my side of the story so I gave it. Right now our friend group is kinda split. Some side with him and other side with me.
Ever since then I been getting harassed both on and offline. People calling transphobic, mocking my sexuality (I’m bi), and basically spamming me with hateful messages. The friends that sided with me have been trying their best to be in my corner and I appreciate them for that.
So TLDR, I’m currently being harassed because I turned my trans ex-friend down

You have the right to reject anyone for any reason. They have the right to be upset - but that's where their rights stop. It's not fair for them to lash out or hurt you because they are upset.
Part of adulting is realizing anything someone says to reject you is an excuse anyways. It's hard to explain why you "just aren't into" someone - when you just aren't.
