Questions Not To Ask

So there's this somewhat masculine-looking woman who hangs out at the laundromat I go to who (I think) reads me as a boyish lesbian and flirts aggressively every time she sees me there. I've told her I'm a guy who likes guys, but it doesn't seem to take.

Today she came in just as I was finishing up, and before she could even get to me, a guy started harassing her. "Are you a woman? Do you like girls?" She put him off more politely than he deserved, and I pulled my clothes out of the dryers and got the hell out of there. His questions really pissed me off, and I felt like an asshole for not saying something, but then I worry I'd be her knight in shining armor forever and ever.

Androgyny makes people think they have the right to ask intrusive questions, and often makes them outright mean. I don't know why, but it does. </p>

First world problems, what are you gonna do. Or maybe second world; it's a fairly crappy laundromat.
