          While I get what you’re saying, you would still be the person who is choosing to take offense in this situation, and getting yourself worked up. This would be more like if someone said you look like you’re from Boston, weird because there’s not a true ‘look’, but not a big deal at all.

          Equating it to someone calling you a dog is the energy you’re putting on it yourself. It’s generally considered dehumanizing to equate gay people to dogs, something to consider

                You are the one who needs to step back and actually think about the rhetoric you are spewing before just pushing it out there. From your own standards that you defined in your conversation here, you are saying that when a Trans person gets misgendered, THEY are CHOOSING to get worked up if they get upset and correct someone. Your own rhetoric is transphpbic. People have a RIGHT to express and maintain their own identity. You need to understand that.

        Where exactly at any point in this post does anyone talk about calling a cis male a woman?

        Nowhere “exactly”. It’s an analogy.
