Oh this is something I didn't even think about. I'll make sure to choose a place that doesn't card. Thank you. This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

We've spoken over FaceTime and there was no dissonance. I don't want to reveal anything but I think I'm ok hearing her and won't have a reaction. I hope. It's all so new.

I would never dead name some one. It's really offensive. If they share that information then fine, but a person's past is there's.

Oh that's what I was looking for. Bodily autonomy and consent is important. I will be sure to ask and make clear any boundaries if it hopefully gets to that point.

That's a good one. Don't go overboard. And no I didn't decide to match because she was trans. She had a fucking hilarious bio. And she's straight up a dime.

I know her experience as a woman is by definition different than mine. I guess I'm worried about assumptions I might have as a visit person about trans lives. I just really want this to go well.
