Met an open minded person who I have much in common with and could see myself being friends with.

They are an elderly person in a rural area where its tough to find people with common interests.

Through some online searching, I saw this person posted an antitrans meme about a kid detransitioning and gender reassignment is child abuse.

I also recently lost a niece (who was trans) to suicide at 19.

I am a nonbinary person who does not see myself as trans.
