I think that was just bad wording and by "proof" they mean the person actually says they're not female, not that they should send them pics or something.

Mmm, somehow I doubt that. When people say 'I want them to give me proof' they usually don't mean 'I want them to give me a statement and I'll take their word for it.'

Really? I always interpreted 'I think A until proven otherwise' as a statement where while you have a default opinion A, strong evidence isn't required to change your mind, any "evidence" (such as saying, "I'm a guy") will do.
Then again, I'm ESL, so what do I know.

'I think there is a God until proven otherwise.'
'I think there is no God until proven otherwise.'

Those people will never change their minds because somebody else informs them that there is/is not a God. Proof is almost always 'evidence' and more than simply somebody telling you something.

"Until proven otherwise" is a pretty common figure of speech, though, and doesn't typically require watertight evidence. If OP really wanted more "proof" than someone declaring their gender, I think they'd have made that more clear.
