Child Item

Have you ever been mistaken for the opposite sex?

I don't know why this happened to me today. I was in a queue at Sainsburys waiting for the woman behind the counter to hand something to me. I was very clearly female, with long hair, pink womens clothes etc but when she handed me the item she said, "There you go sir."

When I was a teenager, again very clearly female with long hair etc I got on the bus, paid the bus driver and he said, "Thanks son."

Has this ever happened to you?

As an adult hell no, never.
As a kid up to the age of 12 or 13, all the ****ing time. I didn't have particularly long hair or anything but I guess it wasn't short either.
There's nothing more embarrassing as a kid when someone says when your out with you mam, "aw is that your little girl".
**** off!!!!
Oh and for some ****ed up reason my voice didn't break until I was 16 so alllllll the time on the phone.
I think I look fairly masculine now though so I guess nature all worked out in the end

When I was 14 my sister and I got our hair cut really short.

Walking along the road when this man comes out of his drive and says boys come give my car a push start will you.

We were too embarrassed to say we were girls so we just went in and pushed the car and went back along the road and never ever spoke about it again.

Tons and tons of time as had really long blonde hair from the age of 14 until late 20s. I drove from the age of 16 also and so know only to well how women get treated on the roads. I'm a fast driver and yet boy racers still somehow never liked it when a blonde was driving faster than they were and would forever try and overtake me, needlessly. Funniest time though, was when the older brother of my mate (a total and utter asshole) who was a Ska at the time and hated metal fans (long haired weirdos to him) was one day down in the local amusements and seen me playing Tetris (as I tended to from time to time, along with OutRun, Double Dragon etc) and so he comes up behind me, grabs my hair and yanks it, in front of all his mates for the craic. Only it wasn't me, it was actually the blonde sister of a guy we knew and she screamed her head off. He apologized I heard but she ran home crying and he got seven bells knocked out of him later that week as a result.

Yes. They realised the mistake, but it was too late;)

No. I'm a bad looking guy but I'd be one fugly woman.

I've been mistaken for the opposite of sex!

_Whimsical_

Never happened but I think I'd find it quite upsetting if it did.
That said I have a neighbour who is very petite and feminine who has been often mistaken for her brother so a mistake might be more about clothes or a haircut than a true reflection of how masculine/famine you are in appearance.

Yeah. I had long hair as a teen. Was stocking shelves in a supermarket, a little old woman said "Excuse me miss", I turned around full bearded.

Yeah, used to hang out with a group of boys in 6th class. Was very much a tomboy but had long hair and was clearly a girl.
One of the boys was collected early from school for a dentists appointment. We walked him out to the gate at lunch time, our little group of 5 or so in total. She knew all the others names but not mine as we had never met before. She smiles and asks her son "Whats this am..boys name?"
Her son awkwardly replied that my name is Lisa. She cringed and walked away with her son.
Being an insecure, hormonal young teenager I cried myself to sleep for weeks after.

I used to get mistaken for a girl all the time when I had long hair.

I remember one time myself and an ex-girlfriend were kissing in the park, a group of school kids walked by and one of them shouts out "look it's two girls kissing!!". It never bothered me though.
