Plot hole: "Dorothy Michaels" does not exist, but suddenly becomes famous. It is simply not feasible that nobody looks into her background! Not one single print or television reporter is interested in her life story? Nobody has ever wondered where she came from, has checked into what other roles she had played, or has expressed interest in her personal life? That's impossible.

More mistakes in Tootsie
Ron Carlisle: Take, Tootsie.
Dorothy Michaels: Ron? I have a name it's Dorothy. It's not Tootsie or Toots or Sweetie or Honey or Doll.
Ron Carlisle: Oh, Christ.
Dorothy Michaels: No, just Dorothy. Alan's always Alan, Tom's always Tom and John's always John. I have a name too. It's Dorothy, capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y.
Trivia: "Tootsie" was Dustin Hoffman's childhood nickname; it was he who suggested that as the movie's title.

Answer: What she said was a fantasy - big difference between saying that in conversation and actually having it said to her.
