Hey trans comrades, I got a question as a CIS. I work with teenagers and there’s a decent amount of them that are trans or simply non conforming to CIS stereotypical looks. I substitute teach, so I usually don’t know the names of students.
I’ve made a mistake before of needing to get a kid’s attention and saying “excuse me young man/young lady” or “excuse me miss” or something like that. And they turn around and I’ve misgendered them. What’s a gender neutral way to get the attention of someone that I can start using instead of gendered words?
if you type cis in all caps it makes it sound like you’re referring to the group lead by the treacherous count dooku and not people who feel comfortable as their agab
also repeating what others say. try describing clothing, location, some physical attributes

Sorry my brain autocorrects to all caps cis because I do, in fact, type often about the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
