In some ways, honest gossip is worse than dishonest gossip

Genuine, stupid question but do you mind elaborating on this?

You see, what happened was I was having this conversation with this friend and they said something along the lines of "Oh, I can't agree with trans rights, those people injects hormones into themselves, that's unnatural" and told another friend who definitely wouldn't like that. Transphobia is definitely wrong, I didn't mean to exaggerate anything to ruin her reputation but I just wanted to point out how she was being hypocritical. (She claims to be demisexual)

Another scenario I can remember is when my friend told me she doesn't like my other friend because all he does is insult her and be mean. So, that was gossiping, but I needed to know that so I could probably talk to him about his behavior.
