  • The way I see it is, why bother being a dick? You say you don't care so why not just call them by the name they present themself as and move along? You can believe whatever you want but give others basic human respect. Put simply, it doesn't hurt you or anyone else to address someone as they want...but it definitely can hurt people if you refuse that basic courtesy. Why make someone's life worse when you could just smile, nod and move along and not make a big deal out of it?

    • In my opinion they are the people making a big deal out of it if they actually care what people call them. If they get all pissy if people call then the wrong gender then I feel like they are the people making a big deal. Also, sometimes it's hard to tell what these people even want to be called and sometimes asking them is considered rude. There is no way to get through a conversation with them without someone being offended.

      • Uh, most people care how you address them. It's not unique to trans people.

        I agree that flipping out if you make an honest mistake or expecting you to read their mind is not cool but again, this behavior is not unique to trans people.

        Why are you having so many interactions with trans people, anyway? Are you seeking them out? That doesn't seem normal, especially for a guy who 'doesn't care'. Are you just making up these supposed multiple interactions or...are you trolling trans people...or what?

        • I have actually had interactions with trans people some through an actual conversation and some through social media.

          • So you're seeking out interactions with trans people, you're provoking them, then you complain that they reacted negatively to your trolling. That's sensible. When you die, they will etch 'he pwned the trannies' onto your tombstone so you can remain a legend on this earth for eternity.

            • I was actually seeked out by them on social media... I don't intentionally mess with people you're actually an idiot. They were asking me about my beliefs. And with the real life interactions I was just trying to have a conversation and I felt like a couldn't say anything or it would offend them.
