Yeah, but is such behavior acceptable in the workplace? And is it right to use this behavior as a guide to lessen the legal status of trans people?

- xupybd 5y agoI think it is, and it's sad that you have been so heavily downvoted. We seem to be finding ourselves lacking the etiquette to deal with this situation. Can you do this in the workplace, yes, with the right people and relationships. Can you treat trans people like this, yes, with the right people and relationships. If ribbing someone causes them to get offended, you leave them alone or it is just bullying. If they come back at you, it's a game, a fun game that builds relationships with the right people. This is a key element missing from the discussion. In some contexts being purposefully disrespectful is a good thing. This also means you need to operate in an environment where it's okay to make a mistake, apologise and move on. You have to be able to read the person's response to attempt any of this. You cannot do that over text, so it can't be used online.
