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.
