If You Meet a Trans Person...

If or better yet when, you meet a trans person, regardless of how you personally feel about them, at least show them the same respect you would show for anyone else. That means addressing them by their preferred pro-nouns (he, she, they, them, it) and name (self-explanatory). It's easy, and it'll make you look like a much better person.

    • As long as they aren't actually dumb enough to think they can be both and or neither genders, or switch between genders on a whim, I will. Because those people are just.. UUUUUGH.

        • I have a transgender friend, it was awkward calling him by his preferred pronoun at first; but I got used to it. If you are a trans person reading this, give us cisgender folks time to adjust. Just an FYI, calling a transgender "it" is offensive. So if you know a trans person you wish to stay on good terms with, now you know. On the flip side, now you have a word to express trans prejudice with.

          • I respect those who deserve it. If I mistake someone's pronouns, and they politely correct me I would give them respect. If they turn around and call me a racist sexist cis white male scum who needs to die then I leave.

                        I'd call the person by whatever pronouns I think they are by looking at them. If I can't tell I'll ask. If they say something that's not part of the English language I'll stop conversing because at that point I've realized they're too crazy to talk to.

                        • I love when people who think they have the moral high ground try to dictate what I say and do in a free society. I have a question for you. Is 1984 your favorite book?

                            You know what I don't get. If someones given name was john but the guy said "please call me jack" most everyone would call him jack because its the polite thing to call someone by their preferred name. But if someone changes gender people refuse to call them by their preferred name, such as people refusing to call caitlin jenner anything but bruce.

                              • If you were born male, you'll be called a "he". If born a female, you'll be called a "she". If you consider yourself to be transgender, you won't be called either. In fact, you won't be spoken to unless absolutely necessary. I don't associate with that sort of handicap, nor do I accept it.

                                • If someone is biologically a male, but tell me they identify as a female, I will disagree with them (respectfully), and that's just something they will have to deal with.

                                • Sure, I'll be courteous to whatever trans person I come across, provided they make it very clear what they are; but forgive me if I call someone who looks, talks and acts like a girl, well, a girl; and then they get offended at me over it.[spoiler]But the second somebody says they identify as a wombat: I'm out[/spoiler]
