I think the best thing is to be there for them if they want to talk about gender issues but don’t be pushy about them coming out as one way or another. People will figure themselves out at their own pace. Suggesting the idea of possibly being trans is okay but it shouldn’t be pushy, if it doesn’t feel right for them it probably isn’t right for them, at least at the current time.
You’re absolutely right and this is where it goes wrong. Is there a better way to accept people that are gender expansive devoid of “egging”?
