I learned a lot from this video. All the people interviewed said essentially the same thing, but the focus on "don't ask about the past" really made me think. As a cis gender person, I probably *would* ask the average person I just met about their past, and I might even talk with other female coworkers or acquaintances about genitals (like complaining about period pain, for instance). But watching all of these answers made me realize that for a trans person, there are probably a lot of reasons WHY it's painful or uncomfortable to talk about their past (esp past name, etc) if they spent that time feeling miserably trapped in the wrong body. And I think I can see how it would be beyond frustrating to be asked questions about your genitals if it seems like every random stranger you meet is constantly asking that! Thank-you so much for this video!
Sarah when you're talking with the radio host you look absolutely beautiful!!! (not that you don't any other time!!! Just something about that part struck me.) Thanks for your videos!!!! xoxo
here is a good one: my roommate had two female coworkers over who know I'm socially transitioning, I'm in my room brushing my wig and they expect me to let them play with it. No! would you ask a chemotherapy patient if you can play with HER wig? its a prosthetic until I grow my real hair out. and then they got mad and kept asking and one of them called herself a real woman, so I told them to get out of my house. So don't ask to play with our prosthetic hair, boobs, or anything like that, especially expecting us to let you and getting mad if we don't. go find an elderly amputee and ask to play with his prosthetic limb or something.
Thank you for sharing this. I honestly would not have thought of this. I'm sorry, I realize that sounds hopelessly naive of me. But I have a lot of female friends who have wigs and boob pads just for fun, not for prosthetics, and I have a lot of drag queen friends who have a whole closet full of them. I don't think I would have realized right away that a trans person doesn't necessarily see them this way, as fun accessories to be shared and giggled over. I'm so glad I read your comment b/c I think I get it now. Thank-you
Your lucky that hasn't happened. Ive finally figured out my sexuality but i would never tell anyone as i feel its nothing to do with them and its my life. Im not ashamed but im a very private person in generally. People can be whatever they want to be as long as they aren't hurting anybody.

You mustn't ask Trans People things that are private about them as could be embarrassing for them. Like you shouldn't ask people you don't know their address.

The thing is people are going to ask questions about what you are and who you are. That's never going to stop unless you became a recluse.
Michael Langley Actually, it mostly never comes up.

Asking these questions to Trans people its private
