Ok, let's calm down a bit!

There is a difference between a lady who's body style is more athletic (and thus less feminine) than a 'girly-girl' (please pardon my descriptions) and a female who is trying to appear as masculine as possible. In this case, it was a lesbian who, in all likelihood, wants to be a man and who was mistaken, at a close distance (face-to-face), for a man. If she was mistaken for a man, it is also likely that she had facial hair. This is a sign that she quite possibly was taking hormones to give her the appearance of a man. This is clearly wrong. She is trying to be something other than what God designed her to be. There are girls out there who are more athletic and who develop slightly differently. These girls should be especially careful in what they do and how they develop their bodies so as to avoid the masculine appearance. The way a lady dresses and adorns herself, regardless of her body style, should be completely feminine so that she leaves no doubt that she is a lady.

By the way, from my point of view, there is more to being a lady than just being born as a female. A lady is defined by the way she dresses and adorns herself. A lady is defined by the way she talks, the way she presents herself through the day. A lady is also defined by her countenance: she will have a fine testimony and a sweet spirit about her. She will be a joy to be around. Finally, a lady is worthy of respect. The person who was mistaken for a man was no lady, would not have gotten my respect.

Women who were born with a less-than-perfectly-feminine body already have enough trouble fitting in, finding men who are attracted to them, etc., without having to also worry about dodging the Femininity Police.

You seem Hell-bent on making life even MORE miserable for the less-lucky-than-average folks out there, don't you, Randy?

Facts on Figures;
There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and
only eight who do.

Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14.

If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due
to her proportions.

The average woman weighs 144 lb. and wears between a 12-14.

One out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder.

The models in the magazines are airbrushed -- not perfect!

A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent
looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed,
guilty, and shameful.

Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman.
Today they weigh 23% less.

~Beauty of a Woman~
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With passing years -- only grows.

An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is
nothing," on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it
correctly.
The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

Beauty tips form one of the world's most beautiful women:
For attractive lips , speak words of kindness...
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...
People,even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed,and redeemed;
never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older,you will discover that you have two hands ;
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
~Audrey Hepburn

*I'm not even going to touch the anti-trans statements too much. I can only handle small amounts of raw stupidity at a time.*

"The person who was mistaken for a man was no lady, would not have gotten my respect."
Your assumptions do not justify your bigotry, lackwit. It's not surprising that of all the guesses that could be made about why she looked the way she did (and believe me, there are several), you go right for the one that would most easily allow you to spew this moronic bile.

"There are girls out there who are more athletic and who develop slightly differently. These girls should be especially careful..."
There are also women who have developed very differently because Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, or similar conditions, gave them high androgen levels. It's not your place to decide how they should handle it.

"If she was mistaken for a man, it is also likely that she had facial hair. This is a sign that she quite possibly was taking hormones to give her the appearance of a man. This is clearly wrong."
Wow, just one unfounded assumption after another, as long as they can give you the illusion of moral superiority, huh? Your shameless prejudice is beyond disgusting.
You may not have even considered this, but it is possible that she has a hormone secreting tumor or bad case of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and her body produced enough testosterone to cause virilization. It's also possible that she is intersexed; there are people whose physical characteristics are not exclusively either male or female.
Not that any of this even matters. The cause of someone's "confusing" appearance is none of your business anyway. People don't deserve to be treated poorly just because you are uncertain of their gender. Your ignorance of this is a sign that you quite possibly have no idea how to be a decent human being.

First, being athletic and being feminine are not mutually exclusive. Being athletic is gender-neutral or, if anything, feminine: In today's society, there seem to be two major body styles held up as icons, the athletic style (epitomised by Angelina Jolie, Summer Glau, or Pierce Brosnan) and the muscular style (epitomised by Arnold Schwarzenegger or Steve Austin), and there are people who insist that an athletic look is not a manly look, that one has to look like a body-builder to be a real man.
Second, in my view, a lady should be capable of supporting and defending herself, and of thinking and making decisions for herself (ie, being a lady, in my view, implies being able to give informed consent). Most importantly, however, being a lady necessitates being prepared to demand respect for one's rights. Any female who takes ImaSaved1's advice seriously (that their rights do not count if they look too fit) is an idiot.
Third, his position is arguably verging on racist. At issue in Loving v Virginia was the notion that no-one should be both a black person and a white person; this is arguing that we forbid someone being both masculine and feminine.
