I meant to say in the OP that it is highly possible I've met other trans people who find no need to announce their trans status to me.

I do know, that I know of, one trans woman, and I am likewise fascinated, would love to ask lots of questions but know that those questions would probably be rude and intrusive. She will let me know whatever appropriate information I need. And honestly, if I never learn anything other than her name, and what she does for a living, and the fact that she's trans, that really is all I need to know.
