A few times I accidently called a "he" a "she" and got slammed for it.
I just didnt know 😥
But I know I got a lot of crap for that, like thry expected me to know when I didn't even know their first name and just started talking.
I dont like that some people expect you to know what to call them and then get mad when you have no idea what to call them.

While I do agree with you on certain aspects of it. There are certain things I dislike about it and things I want someone from that community to explain to me. The one thing I think that some people should keep in mind when changing genders is to do it while you're still young & your body is changing and not later in life.
What I want to know this kind of goes hand & hand: Like what kind o pronouns am I suppose to use when I want to talk about their past? Cause I feel like I have to use their old name to understand their past life. Am I suppose to stick with the new pronouns that you want or am I suppose to use the ones that represent your old life. Am I safe when I talk to a transgirl & her life as a boy and use male pronouns & vice versa?

@SW-User usually, trans people tend to see their gender as something that always was, but their perception of it changes. So, maybe a trans girl thought that she was a boy before, but now her idea of her gender has adapted. And it may change later in life to. Maybe later on theyd feel more comfortable with a nonbinary gender identity. Typically, it's good etiquette to refer to a trans person by their currently preferred pronouns and name, whether in past, present, or future tense

@SW-User which is fine. I do the same thing. And if someone tells me they prefer the pronoun "zakager" or something, whatever. That's their thing and I wont judge them. But it's when you start to be unnecessarily obnoxious about it that it becomes a problem

@SW-User and I think it's important to be respectful. Like, it doesnt hurt anyone to remember a particular person's pronouns and use them. Even if you dont "agree" with it, just be a respectful human being. But sometimes this shit gets taken way further than it needs to. On both the conservative and liberal "sides"
