“Are you related to [insert dead name here]?”
Thoughts?
I foolishly asked a trans person if they were related to [dead name]. I met them when they were nonbinary. It had been a few years but I met them again at an event today. They looked different but at the same time familiar. I knew they had a sibling so I assumed maybe it was another sibling which is why I asked that.
Have you ever received this before? Would you be offended? I obviously referred to them by their new name after that. It’s been swirling around my brain so wanted to get others input.
