    Yes, I’m not saying being accused of being transgender in and of itself is bad, but siccing your followers on someone for harassment is the issue. Being trans isn’t something negative, I’ve got many trans friends and my niece just recently came out. Fortunately all of my family feels the same way so she is supported and everyone uses her new name and pronouns, the way every trans person deserves.

      That is great to hear! I was hoping that was the case and hoped that asking would head off someone assuming the opposite.

      While I do not have any trans friends, that is due to having the same few friends for decades as I’m not very outgoing.

        Well one of them could surprise you :) Two of my trans friends were well into adulthood before they transitioned. I’m happy to report that they are both doing well and are outspoken activists!

          I’m sure that I have met and interacted with one or more people who are trans, as I have known enough people to be statistical likely.

          an few literally, we are in our 40s and and openly positive about accepting differences including LGBTQ+ folks so odds are it would have come up by now.
