First trans acquaintance - January 24th 2012, 11:20 PM

I met this person today, Sully, that's a transgender. I believe they're FTM. I don't know know how to act around someone going through a sex change. Everyone I've met are the gender they're born as (or maybe I have met a trans person, but didn't know! They do a pretty damn good job at gender reassignment surgery).

It's a bit awkward, because I believe people should keep the gender they're born with. So if you're born a boy, stay a boy. A girl, stay a girl. I don't understand why girls want to be guys. I've been a tomboy, but it's just a phase. It lasted a few years, and I'm not all that girly girl. But I'm proud of what I have, even if it's underformed. I love being a girl, you get to do more things as a girl.

Anyways, how should I treat Sully? And what pronoun should I use? He? She? They? But they sounds rude.
