Somebody has a gender you don't understand. Tough

Also

Somebody doesn't understand your gender. Tough.

Nothing a discussion can't clarify.

While I agree with your sentiment, there is a difference between not understanding and actively disparaging. The former is fine - there's plenty of stuff I don't understand, and I just don't comment on it because I have no business doing so. Where I take objection is when the lack of understanding transforms into bigotry and disparaging remarks.

By all means be ignorant (and I don't mean that in a derogatory manner - we are all ignorant about various things), but don't let your ignorance manifest into negativity.

Agreed.

Don't understand. Fine.

Assumptions, deliberate misunderstandings and misrepresentations. Not fine.
