Is it rude to assume someone’s gender?

Question

Answer

No its not rude. Its only recently that we came out with all these extra genders.

Answer

Yes, it’s rude. No, it doesn’t mean you’re a terrible person if you do. That’s where people get confused. EVERYONE makes assumptions because it’s something we’ve been taught to do, but that doesn’t make it less rude 🤷‍♂️ if you’re unsure, Just. Ask.

Answer

This is where that "Did you just assume my gender?" joke gets out of hand if people really can't tell when you should or shouldn't. Always ask if you're not sure, you may feel awful and they may look at you oddly but it's better to be considerate than assumptive to a potentially suicidal person.

Answer

Also apparently Canada just passed a law that you get FINED AND POSSIBLY JAILED if you call someone the wrong pro noun......insanity.

Answer

We assume based on presentation, and that's usually not wrong. If you aren't sure you can just ask someone what pronouns they prefer. And if you do get it wrong and the person corrects you, just apologize and use the correct pronouns. No big deal.

Answer

Answer

Yes it's rude but it can be unintentional.
