RE: I'm Jamie, Your Transgender Temporary Girlfriend: AMA!
Sounds like a hopefully blessed life :) I guess if I have a serious question it would be: is there really a good way to be sensitive about somebody's gender identity in advance? Just always ask if you're serious about being friends? For me as somebody who this stuff hasn't been very personal for, and didn't take probably seriously enough at first, I'm trying to be give the proper respect to how important it is for others.
And sorry if you get this kind of question all the time and it's annoying ^^;
This isn't an annoying question and I don't think it will ever be to be honest. This is a relieving question, and the answer is simply to ask in a polite manner such as,
"Excuse me Name, what pronouns do you use?"
It's that simple, and it goes a very long way! It shows that you intend to lend respect from the get go, not have it pulled out of you. Thank you very much for the question!
Excuse me, Jamie, what pronouns do you use?
I use She/her pronouns, thank you!
Well since I'm from Texas I'm going to have to go with pardon me and try to give it a twang ;) but the rest sounds good!
