Makeup, clothes, perfume – and telling the nieces at last!

So are you having your dick chopped off? 10 things not to say to trans women
I’ve spent the past couple of years coming out to people – and most of my friends and family have been wonderful, supportive and sensitive. But a few – usually people I don’t know so well – seem to need a little coaching. So I thought I’d write a piece on things not to say to trans women.
