Transphobic, my friend came out to me as Transphobic. So I came out to my friends as nonbinary about 6 months ago and they all forget to use they/them pronouns and my preferred name, but I expected that. Yesterday I was doing work with my friend at school and I was talking about something, then I think I said that I wasn't a boy at some point but my friend said, "you are a boy." "I said no you know that I'm not I have told you this," "he said but you are a boy, you know you are, you have a d##k" I said "genitals don't diffine gender, and I searched, what diffines gender" it said something about biological sex and gender identity and under gender identity it said cis gender is___ and trans is___ the he said "your trans?" I responded by showing him that trans is an umbrella term with nonbinary under it. In the end he told Me to leave and I did so happily, but idk what to do I didn't know he is Transphobic until now. Sorry for the long ranting.

Uhh, the first bit, IDK, having the same problem. But the second bit about your friend being transphobic, it depends. What he said is definitely hurtful, but because this is in written format I cannot tell if it is malicious or not. If that conversation is the only reason that he told you to leave, then that's transphobic. Regardless, if he keeps doing stuff like this, don't keep hanging out with him. Also I didn't know that non-binary fell under the trans flag, thanks for the info.

Also one time he said that he was transphobic not realizing it includes nonbinary people

Wait he actively said he's transphobic! Screw that, that's not being ignorant, he's being actively malicious then.
