here’s a few tips, especially if you’re cis:
someone’s AGAB is not your fucking business
someone’s deadname is not your fucking business
someone’s transition is not your fucking business
someone’s gender dysphoria is not your fucking business
someone’s previous labels and identities are none of your fucking business
if you know someone’s deadname, just fucking ignore it. do NOT EVER introduce a trans person or talk about them like “this is steve but he used to be sarah” or “my friend steve whose deadname is sarah” or anything like that. just shut the fuck up if you don’t think you could possibly NOT do that.
9/10 depictions of trans people in media especially film/shows is wrong and stereotypical.
transphobia is a wildly different experience than homophobia
maybe? look up? transgender labels? and identities? so you aren’t constantly asking someone what their label means? or just use? logic and common sense? like oh i wonder what genderfluid means oh maybe it means a FLUID GENDER oh gee could it be?
trans people never ever NEED to disclose that they are trans, and if someone doesn’t tell you that they’re trans but you later find out? don’t confront them!! they did not “lie to you”, you just assume that everyone is cis, which is weird and transphobic!!
again do not ever ask someone what their deadname is or what there AGAB is just don’t, do not, not ever. you have no reason to need that information, you do not deserve that information, just shut up.
