My only pet peeve with all this is "misgendering" which I honestly despise. If one is a grown up 180cm male I'm never gonna call him a "her" just because of a wig and makeup.

Interesting.

What if they were 165cm, had the face and body and voice of a woman and you had no idea they were trans? Would you call them He if you found out?

Would you call a big burly bearded guy She after you found out they are a trans man?

If yes, why so? If no, why so?

Would you call them He if you found out?

Yes I would, in both cases. But I guess it would depend, if we were friends I might call them the way they want. But that is a favor as a friend, not something that I would accept be demanded from me

That's unfortunate, why not be friendly to a stranger?

Why does someones chromosomal sex matter to you if you don't want to have children with them?

Because I'm selective with my friends and I don't want any drama, and from my experience and what I keep seeing thsese king of people are all about atention.

Really don't want that in my life
