I've noticed this on my main page and am here to get educated: what is the meme about?
I'm assuming the meme is about her being male presenting and hit with male pronouns from strangers who assume the gender visually, while the OP would prefer to be addressed by female pronouns (I'm not sure how said strangers should know that though, but that's not the meme point)?
Or is it a meme about being stuck in the process and however she tries she's still male presenting for reasons unknown to her?
It's often less about how one actually presents and more about people who know you refusing to change how they refer to you. People who knew you before often don't change how they think of you until forced to reconcile with it. Until they see AND accept that you're incontrovertibly feminine, they'll keep calling you sir even if most new people who meet you call you ma'am.
Thanks, appreciate it.
It could be cognitive bias (because of the words around it), but the girl on the screenshot does look a bit manly to me (but it also can be lighting, angle, makeup, hair, scales and horns; after all those are the tools of drag and I'm not an expert at gendering peeps. Fortunately my native language has gendered names, verbs and nouns so misgendering someone after their first sentence is gramatically improbable)
