Tips for dating/being friends with a transgender person
•DO NOT point out their chest and or other parts of their body that do not belong there.
•Don't judge them on the tone of their voice whether it be high or low.
•Don't judge the way that they try to find comfort in the body that they're in. As in (dressing, hairstyles, etc..)
•If they are more feminine than masculine DO NOT point it out to them, or the other way around as well.
•Referring to them as the wrong pronouns is a no. Please ask before using.
•Using their birth name instead of their trans name actually hurts a lot more than you think.
•Don't force them to tell you things that they aren't yet comfortable talking about.
•Be sensitive to the questions you ask before you ask them.
•It's okay to ask questions though.
•Whenever it comes to intimacy, just be sure that they are comfortable with it.
•Not all transguys will take off their shirts or boxers in front of you.
•Just because a transgender person isn't on estrogen or testosterone doesn't make them any less of the man or woman that they really are. More people need to really exercise this statement.
•You aren't any less of a woman than the woman that sits next to you on the bench.
•You are no less of a man than the man who stands behind you in the grocery line.
•You are just as equal. You are both women and you are both men.
Last thing,
•I am so proud of you for being who you truly are.
