Am I homophobic for doing this?
Hello. My friend of 3 years came out as trans and I respected that but they never told me their pronouns or anything so when I used she her pronouns they would yell at me. So I used they them and they would also tell at me. So I did ask them what they wanted to be called and they said he him so I used he him. But the next day they said wanted to be called she her. It got confusing and they kept doing this for a good year. Fast forward. My parents are really homophobic. So to avoid being in trouble for having a trans friend I would use she her pronouns around my parents. I told my friend this and they got mad at me and cursed me out. I understand that you prefer those pronouns but my parents would yell at me for being friends with them. And so I got used to using she her as that is was I usually used to talk about them. Eventually we were having a sleepover at her house and she started to talk about how sex works and things and how they had toys and wanted to use them on me. They knew i liked a guy. I'm straight they knew this. So I eventually ran out and they called me homophobic for everything I had done. So am I homophobic or no?
