A friend is looking for someone who speaks fluent Cantonese to help her with the language barrier around coming out as #trans .
Her wife's parents speak English, but not well enough to likely understand this topic. The wife lacks the terminology in Cantonese to explain that the friend is transitioning. They'd like to talk to a fluent speaker and determine how to do this.
Boosts welcome, as are DM replies. Yes, this is a serious request.

In Cantonese…
Transgender is 跨性別
Cisgender is 順性別
Nonbinary is 非二元性別
Gender identity is 性別身份
Gender affirmation is 性別認同
AMAB is 生理男性
AFAB is 生理女性
HRT is 激素替代療法 (I think the Cantonese slang term is 食糖 = eating candies)Cis guy here, but I can look up other terminology if needs be.
