I get dude'd and he/him'd all over the internet, been called gay for liking feminine things or even for having a high-pitched voice. On those stupid advice subreddits where you have to put your age and gender, I still got he/him'd.
I genuinely don't understand how some people can be so obsessed with men that they imagine everyone they're talking to is a man. It reminds me of in crappy anime when a badass character takes off her mask and you're supposed to be surprised she's a woman. Why was I supposed to think she was a man?
