And calling me miss is just biologically inconsistent with your grammar.
That was the point.

You could make the argument to use these as insulting terms, but pronouns should really be tied to biology or else you end up with a society too afraid to greet one another.
Seriously? Gender is different from sex in the sense that it's a mental thing instead of physcial. This is why people say gender instead of sex in these discussions. Also have you never met a person who was androgynous without trying? If you confuse their gender and they correct you, what is your basis for dismissing that afterwards? You're demonstrating a poor understanding of gender so I wouldn't go with your gut feeling over someone's word tbh.
