A lot of the group identity of womanhood comes from having a shared experience of being treated in a certain way since birth, through childhood and the entrance into puberty, where "YOU CAN REPRODUCE" is a defining feature of your relationship to the world.
I don't feel weird when I'm misgendered online, and sometimes encourage it. When I imagine everybody calling me 'he' or 'him,' nothing feels inherently bad about it, besides maybe the confusion about why they're suddenly doing it.
