If so, was it polled somewhere?

I'm transfemme, and I was repeatedly misgendered as a "guy" and a "dude" by a user I warned the admins was transphobic. They ignored the problem completely.

I call women guy and dude in person all the time. I can understand why a trans person would be insecure about it, but by itself that isn't exactly evidence of malicious intent.

Did you tell the user it bothered you?

I'll say "see you guys later" to a group of women without a second thought but if one said it bothered them I would stop.
