how do i address transsexuals???

Post by postypie »

in the past i have worked in box counters serving our lovely customers..now and again a six foot erm... lady-boy/man would come into the office to collect his/hers mail..now i would often address this person as 'sir' based on his/hers deep voice and having a 6ft 5 '' frame...albeit in a tight mini skirt and skimpy top which often revealed a very hairy stomach...my colleagues would tick me off for addressing this person as 'sir' they told me i had to call this man/woman either madam or when i got to know them as 'love'(apparently she/he liked this)..now don't get me wrong i have nothing against these people(each to their own and all that),but there is no fooking way i am gonna say 'love',darling' or madam to a 6 foot 5'' bloke!

How do you know they were a transsexual? They might have just been a scottish woman :crazy:

You could just ask what they like to be called, if they're a regular then they shouldn't mind, just be nice.

Surely the simplest thing is neither... "Hello, how may I help you?" etc.

What they would 'prefer' don't think I'd be asking that!

I'd ask for photo ID? And then say the photo looks nothing like you. Refused :crazy: . Trannies in uk are awful but trannies in Thailand are frightening :Very Happy .

I believe the OP is confusing transsexuals with transvestites. Pretty significant difference...
