  I don’t get why you got downvoted for this. When I see a trans-looking or tomboish female-assigned-at-birth person, who in their most comfortable looks does not want to look like a girl and trying their best not to look as one, then I’d be bigoted of me to assume they identify as a woman or address them with “she”.

  Similary if I saw a trans-looking male-assigned-at-birth person with makeup and girl clothes for example, it’d be bigoted of me to assume that they identify as a man or would want me to be address them with “he”.

  In fact when nessecary and when it’s almost obvious, I respectfully take the chance and call them “mam, and she” and they apprecaite it with a smile of approval and a happy-pitched voice in return because I repect people however they wish to identify themselves.

  I want to know the viewpoints of someone who downvoted you.

    Downvotes intended are for comments that are not relevant to the post or comment they are replying to. They aren’t meant to be a used for statements you disagree with.

    Ops image never said you don’t need to identify as a woman to be a woman, that’s probably why people are downvoting
