      just because of a wig and makeup

      Why do bigots always assume trans women can’t grow their own hair?

      Is the assumption seriously that your average trans woman looks like a burly bearded man with a receding hairline?

      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?
