His date hadn't done anything wrong, and I wasn't even sure she was trans but she did look that way.
I wish I would have reacted a little differently, but I guess I did okay. I said, 'Oh, I have absolutely no problem with that even if she does have a dick, but that guy was an asshole.' Now if I ever want to take a trans date somewhere I'm going to feel uncomfortable around her (my "friend"). Finding out about the ugly side of a person you thought you liked is so depressing. I can't get it out of my head today. I grew up with enough shaming bullshit from religion. It's pretty hard to tolerate that crap from supposed liberal forward thinking friends.
