I haven't run into one of my T's in public (yet!), but from what I've heard, it's that the T can't be the first to acknowledge you due to confidentiality. Like if I saw my T at a restaurant while out with a friend, she couldn't be like, "Hey Lonesome!" But if I walked up to her and said, "Hi, T!" then she could acknowledge me.
Thanks for this!
