Re: Doing a Scottish accent It depends I'm just outside of Philly and we have what is known as a Delco accent. A spoof was made and everyone I know of that's also in and around Philly loves it! If the accent can be done well enough or in a way it's humorus then there's no harm. Link below

Re: Doing a Scottish accent If you're sure of pronouns, use them.If you're legit not sure, just ask. If a trans person is mid-transition or if their gender is unclear to you, and you ask, and they explode, that's a bad thing. Your asking implies that you're going to do your best to honour
