Transgender...what do you think...

[shayna{L_D}]

It's heartening to see the positive attitudes towards transness around here.

As zander says, it's best to be mindful of words and pronouns when talking about us trans people. With all the crap we have to deal with every day, just having friends who use the right terms around us can really mean a lot. In a nutshell, a transsexual should always be referred to as the gender they identify as, regardless of how many alterations they've made to their body and life yet. (It's never as simple as flicking a switch from one sex to the other, even if popular media likes to portray "sex change operations" that way.)

as i said above, i apologize.

And as I told you before, it's called learning :-)

It would be different if you were intentionally trying to offend anyone. But you weren't, so it isn't the end of the world. This isn't a topic covered in any form of school, the world in general doesn't like to acknowledge that gender is a spectrum. You slipped up on terminology and pronouns - you're not the first! So now you know for next time :-)
