If someone's gender identity is incorrect, how can I let them know without causing offense?

If you suspect someone's gender identity is incorrect, it is best to ask them directly. You can do so by asking what their preferred pronoun is or asking if they identify as a certain gender. Make sure to couch your questions in kindness and respect, and avoid any judgement or assumptions.

If you feel comfortable doing so, the best way to let someone know their gender identity is incorrect is to softly raise the issue with them. You could say something like "I get the sense that your gender identity might be different than what you currently express", and then respectfully discuss options and feelings further. It's important to be understanding, respectful and non-judgmental in this type of conversation.
