[quote=Anonymous]We have a couple of trangendered people in our lives. I want to be accepting and non judgemental and comfortable around them, but I'm not yet. But I am trying. I feel like I am going to use their 'old' name or say she instead of he and now it seems like they are not the same person, but someone new and so talking about the past and fun times we had seems inappropriate. Are we supposed to forget the old other gendered person and start from scratch? Also, I admit I'm confused by the new appearances and outfits, which seem extreme at times and I don't want to say anything to offend, but complimenting would be insincere. What do I say when I feel a little shocked, but I want to communicate a positive vibe? I need some prepared lines to get through the awkward moments. Help is appreciated.[/quote]
