Have one that "came out" in the last couple of weeks. He's already started with the poorly applied make-up and forced raised voice and, oddly, seems to be trying to become his grandmother. Spend video calls with him wondering if he was molested by grandma or grandpa and how that ended up producing the current shit show.

I work with one who is a female to male. Doesnt want to be labeled as a female but still uses the womens restroom. But changed her name to max which i joke about. Is it short for maxine or maxipad? Also heres the real kivker. You want to be a man, well you have to experience jokes like that. Not get mad and go to human resources over a joke. Do i laugh? No. But i never address as sir. I just say thanks and keep convos short. At the end of the day she does her job and mostly well. Im hoping she realizes at some point she wants to stay a woman.

works with them daily in his anus. Ask him.

I've come into contact with a few. It's the same with openly gay and lesbian.

I put on a fairly stoic front generally to anyone irl, kinda stay blind to it.

Don't know if it's just my personal demeanor or not but that appears to rile them. They seem to like to divide others into love or hate them. Incapable of dealing with ambivalence.

They never last long even if people are accepting.

I treat them they same way I treat everyone else: Like shit.

Let them live a lie. expecting the rest of us to play along is unacceptable

I treat them as individuals consistent with the content of the character.
