honestly she was trying to let it down gently, to spare your feelings and the friend.
like you wouldn't have made a scene if she had been outright abt it.
besides as you said she thought it was a woman whom she was going with, then yeah, with these subjects everything is always handled w gloves on.
Um I literally told her upfront my friend was born and lives as a male and if that was cool cuz she thought I was referring to a woman (cuz she used she pronouns when I mentioned him)
Like I think it was clear I'd be understanding if she didnt want a random male stranger to come. There literally would of been no tantrum?
Also this "spare your feeling" shit is what the thread was supposed to be about. I hate it when ppl do that. Just say it like it is so communication is concise
And it's mostly girls who do it it seems, which I do think is a part of female socialization
then what was the issue then?
not like the post was eligible in the first place.
and why do you think so? might be because women can and have been harmed by ppl who couldn't deal w a straight answer, so yeah.
honestly this should've been a 2 sec solution, just fucking ask your friends the next time to upfront w u. it's that easy.
This entire thread just wasnt clear
