Today, a stranger told me how proud he was that my boyfriend and I were so open with our sexuality. For the past three years, most strangers have thought we're a pair of gay men. I'm a woman. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was walking with my husband, holding hands, when a man with a rainbow shirt on came up to us. He said, "I'm so glad that gay men can go out in public without being embarassed nowdays!" He patted me on the back and walked away. I'm a woman. FML
Today, after three days of dating a boy I liked, he came out as gay on his Instagram. FML

Today, after being out of the closet for over three years, I learned that some of my friends still don't believe me that I am really a lesbian. They still think I made the whole thing up because I can't get a man. FML
Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. FML

Today, the guy I’ve been hanging out with and crushing on told me we now know each other well enough to be completely open with each other. I was excited, thinking our mild flirtations would finally go further. He just wanted me to know he’s gay, and asked me if I knew any single guys for him. FML
Today, my daughter was telling everyone at her elementry school about my gay partner. Yes, I have a gay partner. He is my work partner and he happens to be gay. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. My mother turned to me and said, "Wait you're actually gay? I thought you were just saying that to piss off your father." I came out to her when I was 16, and have confided in her about my past relationships. FML

You probably have short hair. In this culture, women are seen as less feminine if their hair isn't long. Sigh.

#28 Yeah, I hate that most people think that short hair = less feminine. I would rather have short hair.

At first, I thought you had a stoic standpoint on the situation. But then I saw that "sigh." and I swear.. I could feel the passion seeping through my screen.

Is someone going around and down-voting all of my comments just to be a jerk? It wouldn't be the first time that happened.

My ex girlfriend had kinda short hair, and she was a little masculine. Then again, that was probably just her.

28- I don't see short hair as less feminine, some people (girls and guys) just suit the longer hair, for others, shorter is more flattering. For me, it's not a gender issue, just a person per person basis. 62- Don't worry about the thumbs votes, just share your well thought out opinion, but don't do it looking for approval. You can't please everyone all the time, nor should you try. And if someone actually is looking to down thumb you, getting angry about it will only give them the feedback they crave. Let it go, I'm sure you're better than that. :)

28, It makes sense to have some identifying features given that we have covered all the natural ones. 62, It's more likely that 28 has followers who agree with everything they say regardless of content, and as you don't you only get the brunt of the people who disagree. Not that it matters either way, it only shows popular opinion on this site. As you should be aware by now, the quality of those opinions is shady at best.

It's hard to pull off a shaven head or a boy styled haircut on a female, it just doesn't look right to me, but hey who am I to judge if you want to belch like a man, and wear baggy men's clothing, just don't be surprised when someone confuses your gender. Now this is just all assuming you do those things, but if you don't then.... I bet you make a very handsome man. ;)

Natalie portman is the only woman I've seen look good bald :)

^ In V for Vendetta, I presume? I didn't think Demi Moore looked too bad when she shaved her head in G.I.Jane, IMHO. And I believe I've seen Drew Barrymore sporting a short boy hair cut before that looked decent. All depends on the person. :) Hell, Brad Pitt looks great bald, short or long haired. :p

That's when you flash them your ****.
GoW_Chick 15
But only if there are beads involved...what?! Getting free cheaply made beads is the perfect reason to flash your tatas...riiiiight?

Well... Mardi Gras is almost here. :) I'll be getting myself lots of beads and hand grenades too. ^_^

Ouch... you could start dressing more femininely, I suppose. Add a few skirts and dresses to your wardrobe. Also you could style your hair differently and put on makeup. Of course, if you're happy with the way you look, that's all that matters, but I'm wondering what you must look like to confuse people with your gender /:

Or perhaps it's her boyfriend's look that makes people think op is just a really good drag queen.

It's ok as long as you love your boyfriend, and he loves you.

I'm in the complete opposite end. My girlfriend gets asked if she's a lesbian. When she tells me this I just laugh and say, well at least if I'm a girl I'm really sexy. I'm an 18 year old dude.
