full of fence but why do so many cis people completely forget how to interact with a normal human being whenever they meet a trans person

some examples (mostly based on my own personal experiences)

a guy i barely knew began asking me extremely invasive questions about my sex life when he found out i was a gay trans man. If I was cis, this absolutely never would have happened.

a guy i had literally never talked to asked me if i peed standing up. If i had asked him the same question he would have been a little creeped out (and rightfully so because asking a stranger how he uses the bathroom is fucking weird)

I’ve had countless strangers ask me weird unnecessary questions about my genitalia. That’s like me walking up to random cis guys and asking if they’re circumcised. its weird and not socially acceptable at all, unless you happen to be trans.

this isn’t even including all of the “when are you getting THE surgery” and “whats your real name” questions i get.

just…as a general rule of thumb, if you wouldn’t say something to a cis person don’t fucking say it to a trans person. it really isn’t that hard
