The importance of
correct pronouns DR NYX MCLEAN IMAGINE for a moment that your closest friend has told you that they are transgender – they’re either a transman, a transwoman or a nonbinary person. This means that if they were a woman “before”, they’re now transitioning to “become” a man; or if a man “before”, now a woman; or if either, now somewhere in between
or completely outside of gender. It’s difficult to write of “before” because often transgender people have felt uncomfortable for a long time in the gender they have been presenting to the world, and sometimes the telling someone that they are another gender or no gender, is one of the last steps in becoming a “new” gender.
