I'm not sure I agree. There are people who pretend to be a different gender on the internet for attention, but there are also people who are exploring their gender identity in a safer environment that rl, or how acting within gender conventions can change behavior and how people react to you.

The bottom line: if someone wants to be referred to as a 'he', then I use 'he'.

I think you said it better than my own comment.

No, you also got the 'pretending to be male to avoid being hit on and condescended to'. I'm female and cisgendered, but when I was younger and people on the internet assumed I was male, I never corrected them because I didn't want to deal with being ignored in discussions and asked to post pictures of my boobs.

I think intent is everything. There's a difference between being a guy (particularly a gay one) online/in fandom for the attention it causes and doing it for the reasons you and I and others are saying.

I don't think intent matters. It's what you do, not why you do it. Moreover, I don't know what someone's intent is. Even if they do start out pretending to be a different gender for the attention, maybe they end up doing it for another reason. I can speculate about it in my head ("X is really a woman!"), but if they self-present as male, I take them at their word.

I take people at their word too. We can't know intent unless people say it, so it's easier to trust, both online and IRL. Honestly, though? If I knew because someone had stated that it's just for attention? I'd probably be a little peeved at first, then let it go like I do almost anything else that gets to me.

Ditto this.
