Re: First trans acquaintance -

My friend has toyed around with the idea of transitioning from male to female. Personally, even after years of being there for him, I still get confused!  I think the best thing you can do is to ask, "How do you prefer to be addressed... Mr. or Ms. [Name]?" There is nothing wrong with asking for clarification, and it's better than assuming (even if, outwardly, they appear to be a specific gender). It's not rude to ask - 1) this person is probably used to it, and 2) it shows that you care enough to "get it right."
