I just don’t know any scenario where anyone would specify trans woman or male to female unless someone was self identifying on the internet. I think I have the equivalence of facial blindness for gender, so I really know not to make assumptions greater than something like dresses are usually worn by people presenting as feminine. But then again I am really out of touch with fashion, so I’m not even totally confident about that. Maybe some people make a habit of clocking people in public? But I honestly don’t know how anyone goes about doing so with any confidence. A while ago people were using their pronouns when introducing themselves at my work and that was soo helpful for me, now I just avoid pronouns all together unless people use them in front of me first.

Yeah, I just refer to people as their preferred pronouns? Like it's pretty easy. I just have to repeat what they tell me. If I don't know their pronouns I just use the ancient secret technique of calling them by their name....crazy I know.
