Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So I’ve got a really close friend who recently came out to me as MtF transgender. We’ve always gotten along really well, but since she’s started her transition Ive started to get the feeling that she’s been copying me - a lot. 

It started off with little things. She talked about really looking up to my style and asked to go thrifting with me. Of course I agreed. But over the past few months she’s started doing more and more of the same things as me- poetry, yoga, listening to the same music, watching the same shows. I wouldn’t mind if she was just taking inspiration from me or if she only did a few of these things, but I’m genuinely feeling like she is taking my entire personality. 

So far, I haven’t been able to bring myself to say anything to her. I know that transitioning is difficult and that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery— but I also don’t think it’s an excuse to copy every aspect of my style, interests, and personality. I don’t want to cut ties with her because she’s genuinely a really good person, but right now I’m honestly resenting her too much to think straight. Am I the asshole?
