This is a tough situation for online classrooms. If a student doesnt disclose transgender status, or if they are transitioning, another peer or instructor may acknowledge them in a way that could offend them and they could potentially complain. I had this situation at another school. But I advised the student the reality, if they dont klnow you cant take affense to certain pronouns. people do not mean harm they are just trying to communicate with you.
