as a trans person, this is the most fucked up thing I can think of
like I’m literally disgusted in Amber.
if I was Nay, I wouldn’t even look in her direction anymore
and if I was Charlie, and Nay and Amber started dating, I wouldn’t even talk to Nay anymore tbh
Yeah sure it was a fucked up thing for Amber to say. But you have to see it from her point of view as well. As far as Amber knows, no one knows she likes Nay that way and that’s how she wants it to stay. She’s obviously extremely uncomfortable with people knowing. She’s really concerned with Nay finding out it seems to be her biggest fear. The mind is so troublesome sometimes. It can stack up problems that are really unnecessary. Make things seem bad when they really aren’t. And that’s how Amber’s mind is taking it. In her head if people find out especially Nay her whole comfortable world she’s made for herself will spiral into chaos. So she tries to avoid that by threatening Charlie and boy a threat it is. Threating Charlie with revealing her secrets is a really powerful threat that guarantees her silence. Amber only does this because she doesn’t want to get hurt. Self preservation is a natural human thing to do. It’s not like Amber wants to hurt Charlie but Charlie put her in a situation where she got really scared. When you back a scared animal into a corner that is usually docile they’ll turn and attack you to try and save itself because fear has taken over and it thinks you’re gonna hurt it. Same thing applies with Amber here. Personally I get where she’s coming from.
I don’t care that she was scared of messing up her relationship with her friend. You never, ever out a trans person (or anyone). Especially a trans woman. Being trans means knowing there people out there that will happily murder you. I don’t care that Amber never intended to follow up, the threat in still unconscionable.
