It's just as disrespectful as using male pronouns for a transgender woman.

Do people really believe this ****? It's a damn internet forum.
And yes, people
do refer to other men as "girl","sis",etc. in real life within gay circles. It's not uncommon, and it's generally not seen as offensive from my experience,
certainly not as offensive as denying someone their gender identity.
