I think a lot of these stem from the relative unfamiliarity of the concept -- trans people are still somewhat of a "spectacle" to many people, so the natural inclination is to be curious and ask questions which are innocuous in their intent but invasive in practice. There is not yet an established set of social norms for interacting with this emerging social group because many people have not even knowingly communicated with a trans person in real life -- myself included.
I'm glad you've joined us, Laurelai; you will undoubtably bring some new perspectives to hubski and I think you'll find that it's a nice community to be a part of. :) Question: what does the asterisk (*) next to trans denote? This is the first I've seen it.
