I think a trans ally can be someone who, on encountering a trans person, simply treats them like everyone else. https://twitter.com/UBlasphemist/status/807167387434946560 …

Don't have to, obv. Can go 'That person looks like a man but is wearing a dress!' *brain explodes*
-
My point is I would enter any such interaction with full intention and desire to act "normally" but there's a risk I would fail
-
That's all you can do. People who berate those who fail & use a wrong pronoun or look momentarily confused hold back progress
-
Also jokes about them in public life shud be fair game too. Afterall, we all know a bloke in a frock will always be a bit funny
-
They shouldn't be punished. Other people can think you're a twat tho.
-
Of course not punished. But humour is blind. Funny is just funny.
-
Ppl will just think you're not that educated or don't get out much if u go 'huh huh. a bloke in a dress.'
-
But maybe not the ppl you share humour with. I don't care as long as you don't force trans ppl to listen to it.
