Mestemacher's gender identity also confused a lot of people online, with one person writing, "that's not a woman." Another person wrote, "His disguise as a woman is not especially good." A third person who thinks this is a scam wrote, "And magically, he says he's a she. Sorry. Not buying this scam." 

"Woman?!?! Someone needs to sort his roots out and that 5 o'clock shadow and maybe have a good wash, I can smell the stench from here!!" another person wrote. "If that thing is a woman, I am President of USA," someone jokingly wrote.
