Overreacting about my lack of a handshake last night . Educate me.
Without over complicating things, I’m female to male transgender. I’m technically intersex but whatever I’m not sure if it’s super relevant.
I went to a small get together at a friend of mine’s house, and he invited a few work friends, and let me know one of the guys coming over is muslim. When I get there, I go in for a handshake and he turns it down. I honestly didn’t even second guess myself so maybe I was rude to go in for the handshake at all, but I was under the impression that muslim men could shake hands with other men so I didn’t really pause to consider it.
I don’t really know how upset I’m ‘allowed’ to be about this. I couldn’t find a whole lot on the internet about how Islam’s teachings and practices work around with transgender people, so I was just hoping for some clarification maybe. I’m not even sure if this is the correct sub, I’m just fairly upset and not sure if it’s… justified, I suppose.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated thank you for reading goodbye.
