Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?

  I think they meant to just avoid using pronouns.

    Which is an awkward and strange way to speak to people.

      There are actually people who prefer you not to use pronouns when referring to them, and indeed always use their name. Might be awkward at first, but you get used to it.

        People can prefer lots of stuff, “this aspect of the English language is not to apply to me” is a lot of cognitive load to ask for.
