Has anyone here ever purposefully publicly outed a transperson? If so, why?
Not purposefully, but I outed a trans co-worker. Apparently I was the only one who clocked her initially and assumed everyone already knew, so when I made a passing reference to her being trans I accidentally outed her to a few people.
I outed one to my group of friends once, all I said was "hey I think that's a trannie over there" and they were like "yeah, now that you mention it" I may not have been in earshot of said person.
usually it's so obvious I assume everyone notices and it doesn't bear talking about because it's impolite.
