Poll: Have you ever been mistaken for the opposite gender?

[AdeptaSororitas]

Yes, though usually when only my top half is seen because of my general lack of breasts and possession of wide(er then most females)shoulders, rather then a masculine face. But surprisingly I've been recognized as female solely because, and I quote "No guy on earth has an ass that nice." And honestly I much prefer being recognized but my ownership of superb glutes then absurd breasts. ^^

HAHAHAHAhahahahahheheheheee... hehehee... heh.

No.

I would be the ugliest woman ever.

 

[AlexNora]

i was screaming in a high pitched voice while running around lighting matches and holding them over my head.

while i was doing that my uncle told me i was turning on the guys over there (next door) , after calming down for awhile i could them saying "did you see that girl over there" (it was kinda dark)

by the way I don't use drugs of any kind

 

[Burningsok]

nope, the shape of my body clearly doesn't resemble a women at all.

 

[The Cheezy One]

Pretty standard really. When I had long hair (it's now normal length), I was asked by a young boy on a train "Are you a lady?". I'm glad I had it cut, in retrospect, long hair didn't suit me.

 

[Tretara]

Every time I talk on the phone people think they are talking to a woman. In person if they just hear my voice people can tell I'm a guy but something happens over the phone. It gets kind of awkward having guys hit on me on the phone

 

[TheLoneBeet]

Even when I had longer hair I have one of those generic male bodies that can't be mistaken for female. That or nobody bothered to bring it up if they did mistake me for a girl.

 

[Superior Mind]

Yeah, I was 11 or 12 and I had long hair, (about shoulder length.) I did a paper route in those days and one day my Dad helped me with it. I delivered for this apartment block of old folks and this lovely old ladey was collecting her mail and complimented my Dad with "your daughter is very good on her paper round." Dad just went with it and had a conversation with the lady while 'his daughter' stood in the corner quietly fuming.

 

[BrailleOperatic]

I did tap dancing as an eleven year old tiny. My hair was long, and figure was girlish.

YES.

 

[Thistlehart]

Yes, technically. My Senior Prom date's foster mother said we looked like a couple of lesbians in the prom photo. I had shaved for the event, but still... Maybe my haircut looked "butch".

 

[NeoShinGundam]

Ugh, ALL the time on the telephone. The problem comes from how my voice sounds even higher pitched than normal. Even after I tell them my name is William, I still get referred to as "Ma'am" by tech support. Yeesh!

 

[Treaos Serrare]

I was once Mistaken for a dog, does that count?

The story behind that is this, i was riding with my mother ,doing some errands when we stopped at the bank, being winter i had on my leather coat,and had gotten a little shaggy in the hair dept.
anyway i was checking out the snow covered parking lot adjacent to us when my mother asks the teller why she sent a bone-o back with the receipt for her transaction, its at this point i turn around and see what my mother is talking about and the teller woman is embarrassed as all hell and my mother is laughing her ass off, to try to save face the teller woman asks if i want a sucker or some candy or something and i say hell yeah free candy(keep in mind i was a mature 20 something then)

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Can't say I have.

Have you?

 

[Zantos]

I used to have really long hair. And wear a kilt. And I was quite young so no beard or anything.

 

[SoulSalmon]

From the back? yeah I have long hair so twice now (though they musta thought I was some kinda female weightlifter... my shoulders are almost overly broad and I have naturally large biceps and calves... I'm not exactly small)
From the front? well thats kinda hard :/

Edit: Online? yeah constantly.
Esspecially before I moved on from my old online name, when I was like 7 I started going by "Krusha" and I learnt a few years ago that "kru" is a female prefix or something in a few languages which helped explain a bit xD.
I still get called female for my typing style a lot though, mostly on chatrooms where I'm the most polite arsehole you'd ever meet >.>

 

[Abengoshis]

Well, if anyone ever has they must have seen me from behind since I have a massive adam's apple. I can wiggle it too. *wiggle wiggle*

 

[Rikkano]

On the road to the local store lies a kindergarden in our town, one day I walked path one of the kids called med Cathrine, although I am male. o.0

 

[malestrithe]

I look like my mom. I tend to be called Maam a lot until they notice the 5 o'clock shadow.

 

[Reverend Del]

Numerous times, always from behind. Usually in bars. Amusing results ensue when the head is turned and the beard arrives shortly after.

From the front the only ever reference I've had to the classic Aerosmith song Dude Looks Like A Lady, was when old friends decided... Hey Hey Dude Looks Like A Junkie! I was rather emaciated at the time.

 

[SoranMBane]

A couple of times, actually. I don't have a masculine build or anything, but my clothes are extremely baggy and look more like something a guy would typically wear, so from behind or from a distance the only real indicator that I'm female is my very long hair.
