A Trans Discussion

[InkingIncubus]

Did you call me SIS? I EXPLICITLY said that I am a male, and you call me SIS?

The reason I brought this up to her neutrally and in an informative manner is because I know a lot of trans*, LGBetc., and crossdressing people like to sometimes call people "sweetie," "hun," "honey," "girl," etc. as a gesture of endearment as some others like to call people "bro" or "dude" (as I mentioned I do, but I would not call a transwoman "bro"). Although "sis" was definitely not appropriate, it could be Shelly's way of expressing that endearment if we misunderstood. Although I would appreciate something like "hun" or whatever, I do feel like "sis" is a probable habit that needs to be broken.

Online communication is quite testy... x_x
