Here are her frustrations:
I’m a regular woman. I was born a effing woman, I just have strong manly facial features. I tried to get to get a guy and this guy flat out ignored my pickup line to ask me the infamous question, “Are you trans?”
Are you kidding me? No woman wants to basically be told they have masculine features, trans or not. Have some respect. That literally ruined my day and it makes me feel like such S every time I’m called that.

A few women commented on the story who faced similar issues shared her frustrations as well:
- Sorry, this happened to you. It has happened to me more than I would like to admit. The most recent occurrence was at a bar a few years ago just before Halloween.
I was out with a group of guys and didn’t really dress for the occasion I guess? I was waiting for the ladies room to be free and an older lady asked me if I would be “more comfortable” using the mens room. So rude.
- IK WHAT YOU MEAN!!! Someone asked if I was trans once and I literally wanted to cry, I talked to someone about it and they called me transphobic
- Some people are so dense. Even if you were trans they shouldn’t be asking that. I’ve been asked if I’m trans before and I think I have quite feminine features and my pictures in my profile show off feminine features, so I don’t think people even think before asking sometimes. It’s so rude and reflects on the person asking, not you. Please don’t let them make you appreciate your beautiful features any less.
