    Was in a shop today and for the life of me i couldn't tell if one of the staff was male or female, it was a teenager about 16yr old, short dark hair, bit heavy and baggy clothes. It wasn't an EMO or a weirdo with make-up trying to be something their not, it was just a kid.
    There's plenty of examples, but do these people have sexuality problems or do they even know that people cant tell what sex they are?

    I'm finding it increasingly difficult to differentiate between male and female clothes. I went into a shop yesterday and was wondering if a tshirt in the mens section was meant to be there. Maybe this is a sign I should wear slippers and complain of the 'filth' they show on tv nowadays

    The problem is square. But not the square OP. Square kids.

    It's hard to tell if a fat kid is a dude or whatever!!

    Its not like i took a photo and posted it, or pointed and stared in the shop. And i'm talking in general, not just about this one person.

    In general, I think the only person that cares is you.

    Grass him/her up to the social. That will teach him/her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Why didn´t use ask if you were that curious..? That´s the problem around here: too many people are too lazy to get the information for themselves and reduce themselves to starting a thread on AH!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Leave the OP alone - it's very disconcerting when you're all ready to hit on an underage kid and then have a random doubt about gender hold you back.

    Perverts have feelings too you know.

    Thats because a lot of lads are wearing what would be considered womens clothes - those vest tops, skinny jeans, low v neck tops.

    I would love for a shop to have the shop floor painted in pink & blue to represent the female & male sections.

    Also, this magical shop would have sales people who stand upon high platforms whereby I can signal to them should I require assistance as oppossed to them coming up and asking me if I'm alright/need anything.

    I hate this, if I want something I'll ask. Also there is a pretty apparent connection betweeen them asking me if everything is okay and my subsequent departure of the shop.

    Why are you so uncomfortable with the fact you could not discern what gender they are? Seems to me you are the one with the problem.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,082 ✭✭✭Pygmalion


    Related question:
    Has anyone ever saw a girl, thought "She looks kinda like a guy" and found yourself attracted to the girl?
    I have, and I assure you it makes you ask a lot of serious questions about yourself. :P

    I recently gave a friend all five seasons of the TV series The Wire, and it was only at the very end he realised the character Felica 'Snoop' Pearson was actually a girl. In real life, at the age of 14, she was convicted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a girl and sentenced to eight years. Superb character in the Wire! She's the one with the drill in the video.

    I think it was a good question, i'm sure the dress sense and hairstyle of the worker represents some personality type of the worker at the store. its just curiousity to understand this and maybe that will benefit everyone if we can understand people who conform differently by discussing it instead of being ignorant and making it unacceptable for people to start a thread on it:rolleyes:
    I can't believe you got thanks for that! wierd

    I wouldn't think to much about it, reckon this thread maybe hit a nerve with one or two posters, as i said above it was hardly a "point and laugh" thread.

    Anyway Crocodile Dundee method it is from now on:D
