CN insensitive behavior (it was about being transgender), genitalia mention
So now let's go to another topic... I'm visibly queer and was outside today and got into a conversation. I had a transgender flag and the other person (also visibly queer & had a rainbow flag) asked me what I "really" am.
I really am what I say that I am. What this person wanted to know is which gender I was assigned at birth. (I repeatedly just said "Surprise!")
This is an inacceptable question to be honest. If you ask this, then you essentially ask which genitalia I was born with, because that is how people try to determine gender.
Which genitalia I was born with is none of your business, dear stranger. And it shouldn't matter to you either.
It is none of your business what genitalia someone was born with and neither how their genitalia currently look.
Don't even try to ask whether someone has had "the" surgery. (Heads up, there's far more than one possible surgery - and you have no right to know whether any happened.)
Later on this person I met tried to guess what I "actually am". Like... "I guess you used to be X!"
a) It doesn't matter
b) It shouldn't matter to you at all
c) I never was X, I always was what I say I am, it didn't suddenly magically change
d) It's none of your business
e) Do you not get that it's incredibly rude?
f) Do you really need to remind someone that they are possibly not perceived like they want to be perceived?
g) Do you not get that this hurts?
You can ask someones pronouns, but anything else is none of your business and you're not entitled to know whatever you want about someone else.
Next time this happens I'm going to ask the other person incredibly specific questions about their genitalia & rub in their face that this is what they basically just asked me.
As an extra for you: Being a transvestite is not the same as being transgender. I will not write down what part too and neither will I explain this now, if you didn't know it I encourage you to research it.

Irregular reminder: Never use your fingers to remove fascist stickers.
There have been many reports of razor blades being hidden underneath!
Use a pocket knife, stone or similar object to do it if you don't have stickers handy.
The best option is to put a nice sticker above though as it has the lowest risk.
Stay safe!
