She states, in the OP story, that she imagines this guy had ‘manic pixi dream girl hopes’, in regards to herself.
So, it is probably reasonable to assume that she is ‘she’, or at the very least, is feminine presenting.
You can also just see that the profile pic is low res, but appears to depict a young woman.
Reading comprehension, attention to detail, is all I needed here.
Also, I don’t know how it would be a ‘power move’ to search for publically available information, on the internet, to ascertain more context.
I guess if her account were locked down and I literally hacked into being able to see it, that would be a bit nuts, but… afaik most stuff on tumblr is just public, but I don’t really know, never really used it.
…maybe don’t jump right to being so incredibly, conspiratorially critical of people, assuming things about them and fabricating insinuations of things they’ve done.
It takes honesty to admit a mistake, that’s admirable.
Maybe slow down a bit, make sure you got the details correct, next time you feel an urge to be very critical of someone?
Everybody makes conjectures and assumptions based on limited context in nearly every thing they ever experience.
I’m Autistic, so I’m highly aware of the assumptions I am making, and why I am making them.
It just takes me longer to fully think through them, which is often too slow for ‘normal’ conversation tempo, but when I have time to think and fully explain myself… I’m very analytical and detail oriented.
Yes, your explanation was really good! Mind you, I think there’s like 99% of a chance you’re right. I just don’t think something that’s not directly confirmed should be treated as granted
Did you honest to god look up that person’s Tumblr account to ascertain their gender? That is one hell of a power move
No.

I assumed the GUY was the manic pixie dream girl
If you are acknowledging that you misread it… ok…

I also admire your honesty in admitting that your assumption of that user’s gender was based on conjecture (albeit plausible)

The “manic pixie dream girl” part of the story gives that away.
