Transgender communities around the world face a number of difficulties and obstacles. Besides the social and cultural pressures that some traditions impose upon them, there's also the internal struggle within the individuals themselves, let alone the transition period, be it surgical or otherwise.
However, the world has its ways of showing some positivity on the matter, thus restoring our faith in humanity.

I think it's great that the staff member didn't just use her deadname and not bother to say anything. She acknowledged that she had to use the dead name but made sure to let her know she didn't recognise it as her *real* name
My favorite book was written for someone who transitioned and now I can't find nothing with the dead name, so I don't know if he still writes :(
Gee, I wonder how that works .... if we could change the name in the system and still have the records remain legally sound.... just posturing as a pharmacist

I was tearing up reading these, and I'm not even trans. It's too bad that it should be so abnormal to hear about people just showing common decency.

Thing is, being trans is only just becoming a common sight. A lot of people are still very confused and full of questions about the topic, but asking those questions is already seen as hostile and sexist.
There are different ways to ask questions. As in...better and worse ways. I suggest to first try to educate yourself and try to look for the answers online (there are many great trans and or sex-ed youtube channels, for example). The problem with the questions is, that many many people just wanna know about the genitals. Which is none of anybody's business. And from what I gathered, the curious questions (that don't focus on body parts) are completely fine with most trans people as long as you remain respectful. :)
I don't question people why are they transgender; I ask people why are they cruel.
Try and remember Gender Trans-morphia is a recognized disability. Consider what kind of questions you might ask somebody somebody who's blind or somebody who has cerebral palsy. Also consider why you're asking. A person's race, gender, sexuality, etc. is not really important, how they treat people is. Best approach, be tolerant before you ask questions. We all went to school to learn how to read, so google it. Ignorance is no defence anymore, it's always best to open your mind before you open your mouth, better yet open up a web browser and fill your intellectual boot sunshine! :)
I remember my late grandma's reaction when a very good friend came out as trans. She just looked at him and went "Well, I knew you weren't a girl" and then continued with the new pronoun and name as if nothing had happened.
A social issue post without all the hate? Can it really be? Please let this be the new norm.
