I came upon a situation last night and ended up doing nothing just because I was unsure of what was proper.
I was at a party with a pay bar, and one of the people working the bar was a young female with a very strong masculine experience. I was in male mode but thought about saying something, but I was unsure of what she was. From my perception there is definitely a blurring of who is butch, genderqueer, or outright transman. If the person was trans I wanted to let them know that they were not the only one there and good on them for openly expressing themselves. But I didnt know. I thought about simply asking if they were an L or a T in LGBT and going from there, but didnt feel comfortable enough to ask. Why risk offending if I dont have to.
So I am asking all of you what you think I should have done.
