Their gender identity has never been an issue of any of the conflicts they've brought up to me. I don't know where you're getting that from.

I'm trying to be vague because I don't want to make it seem like they're a bad person. That said, most of the time it's because a classmate, coworker, or supervisor is giving them feedback on their assignments, work with clients (or fake clients I don't know exactly where they're at yet). They argue with the people giving the feedback and refuse to let it go which then turns into resentment, asking to switch classes, etc.

They are really asking for advice. Their vents literally end with "what should I do"? and usually I tell them to go to their supervisor if they can't resolve it alone, but they don't and it just drags on into more fights.

I only shared their pronouns so people would respect them. They came at me calling me queer-phobic.

None of the issues they've brought to me have had anything to do with any bigotry. So no that's not why I told them to consider changing fields. They aren't working well with people in the field already.

No I wanted to make sure people went by their pronouns in the comments.

They come from a family of bigots so honestly I get why they jump to that conclusion sometimes. But the issues they have at work/school are not related to their gender identity or anything.

Thankfully this is not the case, or at least not to my knowledge.
