Moodboard:

so in light of elliot page coming out, i'm gonna remind you guys of basic, Very Basic trans etiquette in this thread:

- you don’t use their birth name. ever. that shit is dead, you forget that even existed

- “she is now a he” is the worst phrase, drop it

- correct people!!! if they use!!! the wrong pronouns!!!

- don’t fucking ask people what surgeries they’ve had/are planning on having

- “omg i never would have known you were trans” is not the compliment you think it is

- if you slip up on names and pronouns, that’s okay. just quickly correct yourself and move on. don’t make it a big deal, for God’s sake don’t make it a big deal.

- make an effort on pronouns

- “he, she, it, whatever” is not the funny comment you think it is

- ask what you can do to support them

- you don’t get a special prize for using the right name and pronouns, it’s basic respect. don’t act like you’re doing them a favour

- everyone transitions in their own way and at their own pace. you don’t get to police that.

- don’t ask them if their label on their sexuality has changed. they’ll talk about that in their own time.

- just be respectful, people, it’s not hard.
