[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a gender neutral friend who calls themselves "trans". Maybe your co-worker is gender neutral?

Either way, just use preferred pronouns and be respectful.

This is OP - and that's what I'm wondering. I hadn't heard the word "trans" used to describe being gender-neutral. It sounds like that's one usage.

And yes, definitely using preferred pronouns, and being respectful. That's the "action" bit here. I just wanted some insight into what trans means in this context. I think you might have it.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts![/quote]

My high schooler tells me trans = not identifying with your birth gender, which could include agender, nonbinary, genderfluid, etc.  This differs from my old-person version of trans, which is rooted in the gender binary. [/quote]

I have a friend who identifies as nonbinary and presents as female (uses she/they) who confused me so much with this until she said "I think everyone is a little bit trans and people who reject that are missing out on the freedom to play with gender." Oh, ok. That's fine. [/quote]m

What does “she/they” mean?[/quote]
