Quick question do guys in skirts count as gay or transgender that question is coming from my nearly dumb mind also do you call a transgender by there original gender also is it ok to call one a gender bender if they want to switch genders.

Additionally, no, it's unwise to call a trans person by their original gender, as it invalidates a lot of mental, physical, and social work that person has done to transition as many struggle for acceptance or decent respect.

A different term you might want to use if someone is switching genders is "transitioning", or "gender questioning".
