    Just answer the questions the way you feel comfortable answering them, but be aware that there may be some that you don't feel comfortable answering and don't be afraid to tell him so. Just tell him what you know, and if you're not sure about something, tell him. Just because you're trans* doesn't necessarily make you an expert, and sometimes people start asking questions that are hard to answer.

    after speaking to him the other day I do not think he got the hint that I am trans even though he seemed to have when we first started talking again .

    How strong was the hint? It may be that he did get it, but it's kind of an awkward thing to just randomly ask somebody if they're trans, so he just isn't asking. Maybe he's wondering if you'll tell him more directly.

    Yeah, maybe he picked up on it, but isn't 100% sure that's what you meant. It's not a particularly common thing, to be fair. :slight_smile:

    I asked him what he thought of trans people and he said this : if thats what you want to be its fine with me

    Well, I doubt it's something you want to be. But it's something you are. And sounds like he at least accepts that.
