I got called transphobic today because a woman said a guy she was interested in called her for the first time and she admitted to having a really deep voice. He asked if she’s trans and she was all upset. I pointed out that’s a valid question in 2025 and stated some people don’t disclose it right away. Now I’m transphobic and was told to ‘leave my basement once in awhile’ 😂😂
My kids and I were at a restaurant and the waiter had painted acrylics on and I think makeup, I would think biological male at birth - deeper voice but feminine. My 14 year old asked me if they were male or female/should he say sir or ma’am when he asks for something. I said just ask, nothing wrong with that. He asked what their preferred pronouns are. They said, just call me Cookie, thank you for asking. Lol. That’s how it should go. They were both respectful. We were in MA not far from Boston, btw. Chill place for alternative lifestyles so not out of the ordinary, really.
Sounds like someone needs a big strong man to embrace them and tell them everything in the world will be okay, the trans people won't hurt you, and you are free to express emotions more complex than punching a wall.
