but I go back to compassion. Having interacted with people who are easily clocked. They are well aware of this. Most of them still look that way, because they don't have the resources to have the reconstruction surgeries to make their physicality match their gender expression. Keep in mind these surgeries are expensive and no insurance in America, that I know of, covers them. So, it's all out of pocket.

They desperately want to get themselves to a more refined look. So, it boils down to compassion for me. I can't imagine wanting something so desperately and not having the resources, or even hope of gaining the resources, to make it happen. Calling that person by their chosen name and using the pronouns that match their gender expression seems like a really small courtesy. So, that's how I treat them.
