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?
