it’s okay to ask.

transisnotacrime:

Many people, when new to a queer community or a gender-ambiguous situation, tend to beat around the bush and guess with gender pronouns.

The thing people don’t know is that it’s okay to ask. When you really can’t tell the gender of the person you’re referring/talking to, just ask politely, “what are your preferred pronouns?” and it really should be okay.

Some people love being asked their pronouns because they take pride in their androgyny. Others see it as polite, and the best way not to offend anyone.
