She was never happy with the way I was, just with how she wanted me to be. She liked the idea of me, not me. She got weirded out at me for liking girls and being born one, she tried to get me to apologize to God, become His servant, and "convert" and keeps asking me to read the Bible and form a relationship with a being I don't believe exists. She also she found out I was genderfluid. This was the last straw for me. She asked why my pronouns were "she AND he". I said I'm genderfluid. She asked if God made a mistake with my gender, and then said no because God never makes mistakes and I should just be a straight Christian girl forever. Is this toxicity disguised as "love" or am I overreacting?

Your friend, unfortunately, is probably doing what’s she’s been told is the right thing. Convincing her otherwise isn’t just about reasoning with her, it’s also overturning a lot of things that make her feel like she belongs to her group of people.

Most people that mistreat others think they’re doing the right thing or are justified in some way. But peoples’ reasons don’t really matter compared to their actions. What she’s doing is being pretty terrible to you, even if she’s been told (or genuinely believes) that it’s an act of love.

If she doesn’t cut it out, you’re more than justified in finding other people to hang out with.
