Following Some Events at BiCon, there are various rants taking place in various places about pronouns for transgendered people and how the hell are you supposed to know if they're transgender if they're wearing normal clothes? Here is my comment:

As a cisgendered female, I have the right to wear trousers, t-shirts, no makeup and stompy boots. Why should a transgendered female have to dress any differently?

Or in other words, "It's a girl's t-shirt".

I love that particular strip.

I do see that it's hard to tell, sometimes, but really, it's hard to tell anyway, sometimes, and one accepts someone's word for it, apologises, and moves on, using the correct pronouns. I know enough cisgendered women who have been mistaken for men, and vice versa, to think blaming one's confusion on someone's transness is, er, bollocks.
