Never.

Other than the people who think SouthernProper is male.

Mistaken for the opposite gender? I don't think so.

Treated like the opposite gender? Quite a bit over the past 2-3 years. Sickos.

Absolutely! In my younger days I had a mop of silky, long hair and people often thought I was a woman from behind. I never took any offense, but it certainly led to so some funny situations.

I definitely look like a beautiful woman if I dress up for Halloween. Or not for Halloween! It's just ONLY fun with clothes, NOTHING ELSE!

Otherwise, I don't mix my guy look with being a sissy!

As a 10-12 year old child I was often mistaken for a boy by a clerk in the local butcher shop. I remember that it bothered me to no end as a kid but I laugh at the memory now.

Opposite gender? No. Opposite sex? Yes.

Me too.

I was pretty devastated, actually. I was not a pretty girl, and kids can be pretty cruel as it is...

This thread is fun. I get, "hey, man," when I'm working in my garden with a hat on once in a while. I'm slender and petite--sometimes I've been called "boy" in public, especially with a hat and hair braided under it. When I look up, people inevitably figure it out and kind of blush. I find it amusing, though I can see where such cases of mistaken identity might get annoying or even offensive. We should all check our assumptions sometimes.

Let me amend that by saying there are situations where other people's mis-identification of anyone's gender identity can be terrifying and/or deadly. Because I mostly appear to be harmless, I've never felt as if I was in danger due to others' assumptions. However, that is not the case for everyone with an androgynous appearance.
