So I wander into a pet store to get some stuff yesterday. This 6+ foot trans woman greets me and starts chatting me up, very friendly. She helps me out. Very clearly used to be a man, but nametags says Linda. Good for her, do what you gotta do.

Go to the till to a different woman, and Linda is standing next to her. The teller asks if anyone helped me out today, I guess for employee rewards, commission, who knows. I point to Linda and clearly say “yes, this guy was super helpful.” Linda looks down, clearly upset and walks away. Was straight out of a Larry David show or something. Fack me.

You shouldn't be calling trans bars pet stores.

It’s really hard to change pronouns.

Try watching umbrella academy where Elliot Page is still Ellen Page, playing a woman in that show.

Very hard to not call him, her.

Well if you're talking about a character, then it's fine to use whatever pronoun the actor is depicting.

SP, on the other hand, is a terrible person.
