Anyone here have a quick n' easy guide to LGBT pronouns?
Lesbian - She, Her, Dyke
Gay - He, Him, Faggot
Bi Female - She, Her, Dyke
Bi Male - He, Him, Faggot
FTM Trans - He, Him, Dyke
MTF Trans - She, Her, Faggot
Ask gender:
>If male: He, him, his, etc.
>If female: She, her, hers, etc.
>If gender that does not fall into the "oppressive, patriarchal gender-binary": Log off of Tumblr.

just say whatever they look most like and if they bitch it's their problem that they don't pass, not yours. Don't feel guilt because someone looks ambiguous

do I really need to ask their gender every time I meet someone? cis people will think I'm creepy and if I use the wrong pronoun to a trans they might get mad.

Or just refer to them as the gender they look like and if they get offended laugh at them and hand them some pills so they finally act on their suicidal thoughts

Only ask in cases of androgyny.
If they're evidently one gender or the other, stick with that one.

>do I really need to ask their gender every time I meet someone?
Best bet is to observe a little and see what other people use.
People can get seriously offended when you use the wrong pronoun, even cishets.
That and it's awkward when you get it wrong.
>Would it look ridiculous in a skirt?
N - she, her, hers
Y - he, him, his
If it takes offense to that, tell it to fuck off.

Just use they/their pronouns it's not that hard
>>6265100
Go by what they look like (or specifically what they appear to be trying to present as - if they're a biological male that's obviously trying to look female, even if totally unpassable, it's reasonable to assume they're MTF). Of course, if they explicitly tell you their gender identity or what their pronouns are, use that, but it's better to make a reasonable guess and be corrected than to constantly be asking people what gender they are.
