LGBTQIA+ on Yik Yak | If someone looks trans mtf should I assume they use she/her pronouns? Or is it okay to just use they/them? I usually just do they/them but I don’t want to accidentally be rude by not affirming their she/her goals

if you’re not in a situation where you can ask, technically either are acceptable, but honestly most trans people (ime) would prefer that you assume and use she/her rather than get they/themmed. getting they/themmed often feels like being told “i know you’re trans but don’t care enough to try and be affirming.”
