If a cis person meets a trans person and the trans person introduces themselves with a name that doesn't match what appears to be their gender and they are working (meaning possibly their employer requires them to use birth name or something) what should that cis person do?

There are plenty of people that use androgynous names or names that don't match their birth gender. They're called by whatever name is provided when asked, and the same with pronouns.

Ex. Logan or Dylan for girls. Madison or Ashley for boys. And some have both like Jose Maria. Jamie Foxx changed his name because he wanted to go first before the other male comics.
