I honestly don't understand the big deal about people making a mistake about your gender. People do it to me all the time, it's really not that big a deal.

Unless the thing you're talking about is being pleased that you're "passing" when crossdressing.

I don't either, but I can see how other people might be.

No, it wasn't even me- we had a lecturer in one of my classes talking about gender, and their a cis female who keeps getting misgendered; the "well that wouldn't be that bad" was just me in my head after she said that.

I dunno. Someone mistaking me as a guy would be big deal to me because 1.) there's no way anyone could mistake me as a guy (even over the phone), and 2.) I'm sort of casually interested in passing, so if I were to ever pass as male that'd be a thrilling day.

It's even exciting when people would mistake me as a male on the internet.

One's gender identity and others perceptions can be very important to people.

i am a flat chested (and i mean this seriously) girl, and growing up i always thought i had really strong/boyish features which i hated. having been made fun of for not having tits and the like...yeah, if someone mistook me for a guy it would really fuck with my self esteem. i'd be upset and feel very poorly about myself.

i have a very "girly" style, love dresses and cute things and whatever. stereotypical kind of stuff. but one of my worries is that people will think i'm too ugly or not feminine enough and that i look bad. i know my anxieties are my own problem but anyway to some of us even if we aren't trans* it would be a big deal.

I think it all comes down to personal experience.

I have to wear my hair very short and wear outdoorsy work clothes for my job. I can't wear jewelry and makeup would be completely impractical. On top of that, I have a very square jawline and 'masculine' features. People assume I'm a guy pretty regularly.

On the one hand it doesn't bother me, because I know everything about my appearance suggests I'm a 20-something dude. On the other hand, I got picked on a lot in school for being ugly, and I've had everyone from ex-partners to family to fucking strangers comment on how un-girly I look. So being misgendered can really sting, because it's just one more incident in a long string of "Oh wow you totally don't look like a girl" things.

if you're cis it can be a little offensive but if you're trans* it can be really triggering.
