    Yes actually. Knew a guy that talked about it to close friends a lot in the late 90s. He’s (she’s) openly trans now.

      If you don’t know what to use you’re in luck, english has “they” that’s neutral, no need to invent a new pronoun (like in french) or to find roundabout ways to not use a specific gender in your phrase.

        I used a gender. I used the two to essentially bridge the transition. It wasn’t out of ignorance or disrespect.
