Hi Capt Lex - Sorry, I forgot to sign my name. You can call me Allie.
Good question. I guess I see people as either masculine or feminine and in the back of my mind I see their birth gender as either male or female. So someone who looked masculine, presented themselves as a male I'd consider them male. But if either they told me they were born female or something led me to believe they had, I guess to be honest I'd file all of that away, along with other characteristics that make them who they are. Does that make sense?
Allie
