Yeah your s.o. is discriminating against a group of people because they think that that group's existence damages their goals.

Stop listening and start getting away.

They are discriminating against a group of people in the same way you're discriminating against them: for their beliefs. You can't choose your birth gender or race or sexuality, but you can choose how you approach the fact that you don't seem to fit society's mold for men/women.

Thanks for the relationship advice.

I am not discriminating. Your s.o. is free to hold and promote whatever views they have our want to have. I support their right to do so. I however also have rights. I have the right to defend that people are allowed to be themselves+ without fear of persecution. I also have have the right to choose who to associate with.

+I think for example that gender and sexuality are not choices and that I should not tell other people how to live their lives.
