I tend to fall under the category of androgynous women, I suppose, especially when I wear my leather jacket. I agree with you saying that the problem is people who misgender. Society tends to hold the belief that if you dress/look/act a certain way, it must mean that you belong to a certain gender, regardless of what gender you actually identify as.
I definitely think that the whole who "passes" thing is ridiculous. The subject of one's identity is hard enough without someone telling you that you don't 'fit' into a particular category properly. I may not be gay or trans myself, but I still have quite a few memories of being labeled because I wasn't as feminine as the other girls were in my town, so I understand the idea of being badgered because you don't meet the expectations of others based on your gender identity. It's not fun, and I know that it certainly made me question myself quite a bit when I was younger.
I digress, I definitely see where you're coming from. People should spend more time supporting each other more, and less time judging them.

MadPad uhhcharizard He asserts that he hates women who accidentally pass as male, perhaps because their expression includes clothes that might traditionally go within the male spectrum. Do I understand it right that he hates women, just because their aesthetic choice makes people believe they are male, even if they don't intend to look male at all? In that case, I'm confused.
i may have had poor wording, though I'm not sure this correction will help. I believe the quote was "I hate it when women pass as men" and something to the tune of being even angrier when they do not correct the person for misgendering them.

Noah Regrets I just had a very disturbing conversation with a fellow transman on a board unaffiliated with the guild. He asserts that he hates women who accidentally pass as male, perhaps because their expression includes clothes that might traditionally go within the male spectrum. Androgynous women were given a few categories, as well as "dykes," which I insisted he should not say (to no true avail). I hate seeing this sort of thing. While I might not feel that trans* is really about who you're attracted to (sexuality and gender are two completely different things), we are all in the same boat and should be aware of the struggles each of us have and support each other rather than decide who is "gayest" or who "passes" best. The problem this transman has also has nothing to do with androgynous women on any strand; the problem is the people who misgender. The people who don't respect identities and think sex and gender are prepackaged in pink and blue boxes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should try to be aware of each other, and rather than find ways to divide ourselves, be as inclusive as we can and boost our least common denominators as strongly as we do those whose issues are currently in national spotlight. We get enough hate from outside. lets try to be a safe space while we're together.
I had to vote yes on the poll simply because of that guy existing, though I would have otherwise voted no. Kinda want to punch him in his face. Repeatedly. And I'm not usually a violent person.
