You get that people have a right to define themselves and everyone should be treated with respect. When you don’t know someone’s pronouns, you politely ask. You avoid invasive questions, opting to let your trans friends bring up surgeries and sex parts in conversation if they want to. You don’t use trans slurs like “she-male” or “tranny.” If you ever want to brush up, or share some pointers with friends, maybe these posts are helpful: •

Except I can't really imagine being friends with a trans person.

You got: Transphobic
No one is perfect, but yikes. Here’s what transphobia looks like: • Using words like “tranny” and “she-male.” • Calling a trans man “she” or saying he is a “man trapped in a woman’s body.” • Saying trans women don’t have a right to use the women’s restroom safely and without harassment. • Asking a trans person invasive questions about surgeries and sex parts. • Assuming that drag queens and trans women are the same.

But still, #stopBuzz****2014. I've seen Buzzfeed news be the only source to make an issue out of someone's sexual orientation and/or gender when no one else mentioned it for clicks, along with personal Facebook images that highlight the aforementioned.

I found that surprising cause I admit I am a little transphobic. I try not to be but its still a hard concept for me to grasp

Still kinda of am tbh. Like it's just weird to me, but I don't discriminate.

Well they didn't really ask any difficult questions. Like "Would you date a trans person"

That reminds me, I think I met my 1st trans person. This girl in my class, I assumed she was just a lesbian because of her boyish clothes, hair and hunched posture. But I held the door for her when walking to class, and she almost seemed offended. She said "you're such a nice boy", but it sounded condescending/passive aggressive to me. I get the vibe that she doesn't want to be treated like a woman
