The trans people they never knew they met.

I’ve been an androgynous (cis gay) man most of my life, and when I was young I was mistaken for a girl a lot. Hell I even had my own doubts for a while.

There’s lots of people out there that think that they can tell if someone is trans or not. Hell I have met LGBTQ+ people that think they can just tell. The truth is, they can’t.

You will have met trans people that you didn’t know are trans, and if you go around making assumptions, you’ll meet cis people you think are trans, but aren’t.

A couple of months ago I found out that this person I’ve been casually following on YouTube for almost a decade is a trans woman.

Like the absolutely easiest, most accurate way to tell if someone is trans is to just ask the person in question.

So, are you one of them Trans gingers or what?

Like that?

Yes. Throw respect out the window and enquire directly about the status of their genitals too.
