There's a "trans girl" in my class
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
We got assigned partners for a project today and mine is a mtf transgender person. I honestly never met one irl so it's pretty strange to say the least. I guess he's been identifying as a girl since he was 12 and looks pretty close to one now (minus some obvious differences.)
I have no idea how I should navigate this. I don't want to be an asshole or anything but it's kind of awkward. Everyone knows I'm conservative too which is why I probably got assigned him.
Edit: The project is somewhat related to gender so that makes it a bit harder.
Yes be Christ like.... but remember you don't need to participate in their delusions
I think I'm just gonna use their name instead of pronouns as much as possible.
"Hey" is always a good one to address the unknown. Its unisex. 😆
I call everyone "dude"
Yeah bro
I know whatcha mean, man. 👍
That is probably the way to go.
We have a couple in the fire department. It’s uncomfortable having to be so guarded when they’re in my classes. ‘Guys’ is used so often in normal conversation. And the little she wanting to be he nazi seems to be waiting to pull a gotcha and cause trouble.
That's what I did - called my co-worker by their female name - although the pronoun thing was not in the forefront 10 years ago.
