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?
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?
So what you're saying is that if you don't know the particular person, you will actively go out of way to be an asshole to them, but if they're someone you care about, then you'd pretend to respect trans people enough not to intentionally fuck with them.
Lovely.
No, you didn't lmao
You specifically said you would actively misgender them, unless they're your friend, in which case you "might" not actively go out of your way to do so. That's a dick move, simple as.
And no, you can't pretend that answer isn't real by adding "I would never interact with or see a trans person" because that's not how life works.
