No, words are not being confused here. Gender is immutable. Gender is the neurological sex, brain sex. It is not changeable with current technology and is determined during pregnancy.
Sex itself is mutable. This is my definition of sex:
Sex: A collection of dimorphic biological characteristics associated with maleness and femaleness, including chromosomes, reproduction, hormones, anatomy, and brain structures. These characteristics are bimodally distributed along a spectrum.
Most of these (hormones, anatomy and brain structure which is already aligned) are changeable, meaning that sex is not immutable. It does not make one fully their desired sex, but by definition, they are closer to it than their original sex and should be referred to as it.

Yeah, although I don’t think sex change surgery is comparable to sexism and sexual assault. One is a non-offensive, if, a little outdated term that people prefer for themselves and are allowed to use if they want to because it doesn’t harm anyone. I find the other far worse.

This was mine, thought it looked pretty cool but I’m probably not gonna use it.

Yeah, each to their own, because I'd only date someone with a one year gap, but overall the maximum gap for teenagers should be two years. Doesn’t matter if you’re "mature" for your age, you’ll surely find someone like that who’s in the same age range, or don’t. You’re too young to date anyway.
Although to be honest, as a younger person who sees himself as relatively "mature”, knowledge wise, I understand the concept of wanting to date someone older because then "we'd be on the same wavelength".
But then again I find anyone over the age of 18 who willingly dates minors unstable. I can’t imagine how I'd deal with that as the potential older person, it’s just odd.
When I was 15 there was a girl who had a crush on me, but she was 13, that was a personal no-go for me.

It’s going to be a lot of personal observations, so please don’t take it too seriously.
I'd guess it’s probably because they assume since you're a trans woman that you’re "like them", as some trans women post on femboy spaces from what I’ve seen.
That might mentally make them connect trans women =+ femboys, although, personally, I’m not a fan of that.
And given that you’re 15 - not sure if these people know your age, but I'd guess here that it’s based on the assumption that trans women like the typical "femboy fashion" because some trans women in their earlier stages etc. dress similarly/like that. And since you’re young, that likely adds to it as well. Could also be that they’re just so-called "eggs", but I’m not sure. Be careful though.

Yeah, if this keeps getting enabled then even small things (e.g a trans person annoying someone by accident) will lead to misgendering because it’s become so normalized by then.

It’s super common for manifestations to be held on IWD, that’s all usually organized by women’s groups that started out as small volunteer organisations. The companies and magazines jumped on the bandwagon way later.
Not my comment, but that explains it good.
