Would you call them He if you found out?

Yes I would, in both cases. But I guess it would depend, if we were friends I might call them the way they want. But that is a favor as a friend, not something that I would accept be demanded from me

So what you're saying is that if you don't know the particular person, you will actively go out of way to be an asshole to them, but if they're someone you care about, then you'd pretend to respect trans people enough not to intentionally fuck with them.

Lovely.

No, I already said I'd simply avoid the person

No, you didn't lmao

Would you call them He if you found out?

Yes I would

You specifically said you would actively misgender them, unless they're your friend, in which case you "might" not actively go out of your way to do so. That's a dick move, simple as.

And no, you can't pretend that answer isn't real by adding "I would never interact with or see a trans person" because that's not how life works.

That's unfortunate, why not be friendly to a stranger?

Why does someones chromosomal sex matter to you if you don't want to have children with them?

Because I'm selective with my friends and I don't want any drama, and from my experience and what I keep seeing thsese king of people are all about atention.

Really don't want that in my life
