Sibling have you seen the submarine drama lmao, that's was sign number 1.
The US-CA-UK-AUS-NZ bourgeoisie is essentially unified. The Canadians and Aussies mine, the Brits finance, the Americans fix the markets, and they'll all move to Kiwi-Occupied Aotearoa when WW3 starts.
You say "time is running out", now I don't know your situation with your body, but if you're simply thinking of "checkpoints" that others around your age have achieved or pressure from family/culture then you're probably letting patriarchal conjecture infect your perspective of relationships.
It seems like you have a good friendship with this person. Keep being dependable and expect the same from them, and respect their boundaries. It sounds like this person would have a lot better advice wrt to dating women than your other friends, cherish that. You admire this person, admiration is a friendly emotion too and you can funnel that energy into building the friendship without intimacy/sexual undertones.
You'll be alright. Remember that you don't gotta impress folks all the time 😂, if you can try to not stress yourself with how you're being perceived in the moment, it can go a long way to ease social anxiety!
Yes the article is incorrect and it seems a lot of reporting is playing it safe by using neutral pronouns, but I've heard passed on info that Nex preferred the masculine pronouns.
Edit:
Could come off as conflicting information, but it wouldn't be unexpected that a young person would be still coming to understand their presentation in their environments
Nex used he/they pronouns according to his friends btw. JSYK when talking about this tragedy moving forward.

Not even just the runoff but Dickie Wilson leaving a trail of 200 unsolved murders in 3 years to get the uranium rights sold off
CLN member, biased perspective:
S brought PFs behavior towards them (S) to the IACI internal, the behavior didn't stop as PF made another post rehashing an old argument with S about nuclear power^1^. S again confronted the org about this and demanded an apology from PF on behalf of the partner orgs/communities who saw PFs problematic nuclear take and reached out to S about it. S felt the org was more interested in keeping this a "personal issue" between S and PF rather than poor behavior towards comrades and insensitive public messaging to "get back" at someone and left IACI. S called out certain IACI members in the CLN internal, then in public, for not providing a safe space in the IACI, and not holding members accountable for pro-colonial takes in a formally anti-Colonial educational org, and actually said they'd "wreck anyone who's pro-colonial" as in literally fight individuals, not in the organizational sense. Certain IACI members ran with that as intent to destroy the org alongside claims of "hacking" individuals' Instagram accounts, the evidence, from my personal and biased position, extremely flimsy.
The "dispute" goes beyond that but at that point it's not relevant beyond personal insults. There was no breaking of centralism, IACI is less than 10 people and horizontal. By the time S had gone public they had left the org.
1: Which is a sensitive subject as CLN has a land base in Lakota territory and that land is contaminated by uranium runoff that a dictator assinated 200 people so he could sell the mining rights to a multi-national firm, his GOON squad worked with the feds to destroy the AIM. We also have partners in the Diné, Hawaiian, and Black Australian communities affected by Colonialism that fuels nuclear power.
btw is there a feature of alt text for images on this site?
If you didn't want a world centered on generalized commodity production, then why did you conquer the world to create it!?

It's Kluxism, the self apologizing.
OP is not going to torture themselves by staying friends with a person they had feelings for lmao. You can actually, readjust your perception of people. You're showing the same thinking that men and women can't be friends despite both of those being entirely cultural institutions.
You thinking normal advice about how to build friendships and setting boundaries is a "lib salad" is telling for how you view relationships and other people. You called me a lib while professing Conservative Liberalism.
It's great that you provided the type of advice OP is avoiding from their male friends
