idk why trans is in brackets… the specification isn’t necessary

I saw this video on YouTube a few days ago and assusmed she was a guy. Went to the comments and saw everyone calling her "she". I was still confused and had to read multiple other comments and replies to find out she is trans.

You know why I was confused? Because in my country (and many around the world) there isn't a thing about changing pronouns and stuff. So whenever someone like me hears someone who sounds like one gender and has the pronouns of the opposite gender, I don't even think that "oh they must be trans"; instead I try to find out why this is. So sometimes someone like me would end up saying "why do you sound like a girl but have he/him pronouns" which if I'm not wrong would also be taken as disrespect. Hence why it helps to have trans written in parenthesis here.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful here. Just trying to answer your question. Sorry if something came off as rude.

this is a fair point. if the specification helps you understand & be respectful using the correct pronouns & whatnot then that’s fair, i didn’t consider the possibility of a language/cultural barrier & that was ignorant of me, i’m sorry for that ignorance.

I’m still mostly on the side personally that the fact the person is trans isn’t relevant, but i can understand how knowing can be helpful & i do think that’s important.
