This is why I refer to him as "him". Without knowing what his preferred pronoun is all you can really do is guess. A guy wearing a skirt doesn't necessarily identify as female, he might identify as male but just like wearing skirts, and that's totally ok - as is identifying as female.
This, of course, and high-heels.
Anyone can edit anyone else's post when they quote to try to make a point or make themselves look funnier/wittier/more interesting. Some times this works, but boy can it be mega-cringy when it fails...:/
