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

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

Of course not punished. But humour is blind. Funny is just funny.
