You are never going to directly address a tranny (or anybody) in the first person as “he“ or “she” or “they.” Only “you.” It’s only in third person conversations “he,” “she,” or “they” would ever come up. I’d completely leave out respectful terms like “sir” or “ma’am.”
This is the easiest way. Of course, I have only ever seen two of these people IRL.

I feel like 90+% of you would refer to them as "she" if they were polite in asking and it was in person. I just don't believe most people are rude for no reason.

Right, because you address others directly in the second person “you”. First person pronouns are reflexive so those would be “I” and “me”.

Only “you.”

That’s second person, not first person.

Usually I would ask for their name and stick to it. I have been in situations where I find myself quickly asking for their name just to avoid the possibility of offending he-she-it-whatthefrickever then go about my business. I don’t need libtards recording me on their TikTok claiming I’m judgmental or some shite. I don’t care what they they are but don’t bait people like us or preach their beliefs onto us. Gtfo out with that shite and we’re good.

Why would I stop to talk to a fricking deranged freak? I'd sternly tell them to back tf away from me and continue on my way.

You've never been to Bourbon Street? It's been crawling with them since '80s at least. Of course most of them back back in the day realized that they weren't really women. Drag shows were funny back in the day because the absurdity of it was the joke.

I'm pretty naive about this stuff so I probably wouldn't even know it was a trans and would address as it looks - if I had the occasion. Not sure where I would run into one, though.

Let's say you meet someone on the street and she kinda looks like a woman.
She says something to you and you quickly respond with, "M'am?" When she proceeds to talk to you, it is apparent that she is not a she. As "he" speaks again, do you address "him" as a man or as a woman?

#1 I avoid random conversations with people on the street. But I'm typically polite enough to address people how they prefer.

I wouldn’t talk to them. I don’t have time for that foolishness.

I mean, if I have to say something, I’d go with “hey, you!”

"It" is appropriate. I remember the first transgender i saw. It was tall, gawky, with boney knees, wearing a dress and a cheap wig. I asked someone.. WTF is that?

There was a time when I probably would have, just to be kind.

Those agreeable days are in my review mirror.

You cannot be nice to a leftist. They will continue to demand more from you until you say, no more. We're done.

Very few of them can pass at a 10 ft distance. Maybe a teenager. But 25+ it's virtually zero.

The vast majority of trans “women” look like what they are, men dressed as women. The vast majority of people look at them and know full well they are men trying to be women. Most are polite about it but it’s not fooling honest people into thinking they are actual women (certainly not 98% of trannies). It is also ingrained into people’s brains to address people based off of what we know they are. Sorry but reality sucks for trans ideology
