Life's not easy. I couldn't possibly begin to list the reasons why people keep others close regardless of their sexual orientation or opinions on that, but I'm sure there are motives. This is all hypothetical, since I'm coming from a generation in which this wasn't a thing, but yeah, I was projecting my younger self in current times, too. And definitely, more like the end of a journey of sexual discovery than mocking any kind of people.

Personally, friends who I've come out to as trans who still think I'm male are no longer friends. Family would be trickier and I'm very thankful I haven't had to deal with that but I'd cut out anyone closer than immediate family for sure. One thing I definitely wouldn't do for sure? Invite those people to a party hahaha
