As decent human beings, we’re expected to respect each other’s privacy and avoid prying into others’ personal lives. But oneRedditor’sgirlfriend seemed to think she was an exception.
Suddenly suspecting that his roommate might betransgender, she spiraled into a series of demands, pressuring him to find out and even suggesting he kick the roommate out. Soon enough, however, the situation escalated, and it all backfired in a way she hadn’t expected.

While it’s inspiring to see OP stand up for his roommate, discrimination against transgender people remains a significant issue that affects their well-being and even puts their lives at risk.
“The biggest human rights issue facing the trans and gender diverse community is safety,”saysMill O’Sull, Head of Trans and Gender Diverse Outreach at Minus18. “Hundreds of transgender people are killed around the world each year, and there are still a number of countries where gender diversity is treated as a crime.”
“Some of the greatest barriers for transgender people come from discriminatory policies and laws,” O’Sull adds. “Bathroom access is a good example. In the US, bathroom legislation has turned into a political battleground for conservative politicians. In states like Alabama and North Carolina, toilet usage is restricted to a person’s gender assigned at birth, exposing trans women to greater risks of physical and sexual violence.”
Many organizations and advocates are working hard to address these challenges and raise awareness, but there’s still a long way to go. As the HRC notes, “While advocates continue working to remedy these disparities, change cannot come too soon for trans people.”
Commenters took the man’s side, labeling his girlfriend a bigot and questioning if their relationship was ever healthy to begin with
