don't even fuckin TALK to me BRO

at this point, you're just needlessly being a jerk to them. It's pretty obvious when someone is trying to present female or male (and if they're agendered they'll usually politely tell you, and remind you again and again because you will mess up) and to call them a different pronoun just because of some mental/logical hangup in your head is also very jerkish

just be a nice person for once in your fucking life

if you can't even do that, if you can't even manage to try and make life easier for others at no real cost to yourself, please do me a favor and do not even fuckin TALK to me BRO

Maybe its your general attitude
nah, that'd make too much sense

I treat this trans dude at work like all of the other dudes. The problem is that all the dudes constantly give each other shit. Am I being nice by being inclusive or am I just being an asshole?

Well

then you're being nice and fairly thoughtful. I'm sure they really appreciate it, even if they don't express it at all

I think this is the first topic along the lines of "don't talk to me bro" joke topics you make that isn't exactly a joke but its awfully presented, you tried though.

how to interact with a mtf trans person:

1) dont stare at their chest
2) dont emphatically use a pronoun you know they dont want you to use
3) that's it really

Even if I'm still unsure that transitioning is actually the best thing for people suffering from gender dysphoria, I'm still always respectful to their presenting gender. That's just being a considerate person. Refusing to do that is no better than calling someone fat/ugly to their face.

But if you're trying to tell me you're some kind of third gender and want pronouns that aren't "he" or "she" then you're getting too far out there for me. :v
