I think T-dar (and Gay-dar) spring from intuition. I "type" (or "test") as a Myers-Briggs iNuitive, and I guess my intuitions are about 70 to 80% accurate. I think we should be careful not to say something to a stranger we "think" is transgendered - some percentage of cases, we'll be wrong, and we could offend a cisgender woman. We could even offend a transgender woman who may not be pleased that we point out they we "read" them.<br /><br />Love,<br /> <br />Sheila.<br /> Sheila from Tampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230335934380274993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-42833756736480057532014-03-07T12:06:17.337-05:002014-03-07T12:06:17.337-05:00Similarly, on your "womanless pick of the wee...Similarly, on your "womanless pick of the week - County Line High School", the shortest girl in the pink dress is clearly a cisgender girl who's helping along, and just happens to be in dress, perhaps for support, as she is not competing but in the full picture full of the competitors and the cisgender girls who helped (who are in normal informal but still girl clothes), the short girl in the pink dress is with the girls who helped, in the line below the boys. http://www.flickr.com/photos/celialooney/6865810955/in/set-72157629292074297George Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894384665762504898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-14579024724870044372014-03-07T08:59:23.557-05:002014-03-07T08:59:23.557-05:00Many of us ( and I might add our spouses) have enh...Many of us ( and I might add our spouses) have enhanced T-dar. We are constantly alert to our surroundings and always on the lookout to see if there may be another T person out and about. while our T-dar is enhanced over the civilian populations it is not always 100%on target. We just do the best we can and work towards general acceptance of all variations regardless of whether there is a congruity between their bodies and their attire.<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.com
