This has been circulating for a few days now, and while the intended message is alright, is leaves out some critical detals.
If you’re out in public and you can figure out a stranger’s gender, follow these steps:
- Remember that you can’t
- You cannot determine the gender of a stranger
- Assuming you can determine gender based on appearance is transmisogyny
- So don’t gender people you don’t know
- And don’t worry about it

okay but this is also used to degender trans women who are very clearly communicating “i am female” by wearing feminine...
I worry because I don’t want to ever hurt anyone by using the wrong pronouns…-_-
