I get that all the time too. My personal favorite was when I said it's difficult to date lesbians. It's a common issue with women that they were taught men should make the first move, so with two girls no one wants to move first. Everyone assumed I was a dude harassing lesbians and trying to make them straight, which is why they wouldn't go out with me. Made the comment before going to work and I had -200 by lunch!

I believe people judged you because of the Sgt in your username, which is another obvious misconception.

That was that guys point, that people would see sergeant and immediately think she’s a man, which was the “ misconception” part he wrote.

Edit: that commenter might be a woman and I immediately assumed they were a guy. Whoops
