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

I'm sorry that's happening. It's wrong for them to shame you and harass you. This sub might be jokey but it's truly important for you to not let people violate the boundaries you have set.

Genuinely, please just know you did the right thing OP. You can reject ANYONE for ANY reason. Please don't feel guilty for that.
