Both of them are women. It’s plain as day

Technically, the other person could be a drag queen, not transgender. You can't tell unless you ask/know them long enough to see them in other clothes.

But for all intents and purposes, right now they’re dressed like a lady, and should be considered a lady.

Maybe. My point is that it's a guess. It's a decent educated guess -- and drag queens won't be angry if you think they're trans -- but it's still a guess.

I thought there was this whole "don't assume my gender thing", but here you are.

Their trying to use the fact that assuming someone's gender based on stereotypes is wrong as a means to have a "gotcha" moment on reddit.

But what stereotype did I employ? I don't see any. Where is it?

I never said that, so what the hell are you talking about my dude? I said could be and that you can't tell just by looking at someone what their gender identity is.

No, that's a good point. If this someone was a trans or cis woman, being compared to a drag queen could be pretty hurtful. I think I got it right this time, but its risky. I'll think next time.

That wasn't directed at you, I was referring to the idiot above you.
