Today, I was at a gay bar and asking a really convincing drag queen about her daily routine. I asked how she tucked her penis in. She responded, "Um, I'm a woman." I said, "Oh I'm sorry, are you pre-op or post-op?" She said, "No, I always have been and always will be a woman, asshole." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while I was out to eat, I was approached by the restaurant manager. He told me that while he respected my personal choices, his patrons didn't feel comfortable with someone who used to be a man using the women's restroom. He thought I was a transsexual. I am a naturally-born female. FML
Today, I asked a girl out. She replied, "Sorry, I'm suddenly a lesbian." FML
Today, I steeled my nerve, gritted my teeth, pulled my finger out, and asked our new coworker on a date. He looked at me weird, then said those four words, “But I’m not gay.” Five weeks we’ve worked together and all that time he thought I was a man. I’m a woman, born a woman, with a vagina. FML
Today, my doctor told me to take off my pants so she could do a checkup. When I took them off, she gasped. When I asked what was wrong, she said she was expecting something else. She thought I was a dude. FML
Today, I was complimented by a stranger, who said I looked great in my outfit. I thanked her, and she immediately gave me a fist-bump. I stared curiously, and she explained: she was arguing with her friends about whether I'm a man or a woman. The pitch of my voice was the answer. FML
Today, I had a job interview. When I got there, the lady interviewing me shook my hand and said, 'Hello, I'm gay.' I found this strange and I didn't know what to say, so I stated, 'Aw, it's OK, I support you.' She looked pretty offended, and I realized why when I found out that her name was Gaye. FML
Today, while shopping, a few giggling girls came up to me and asked why I was wearing a dress in public. Highly confused, I didn't answer. When they walked away laughing, I realized they thought I was a man. I'm a woman. FML
Today, a little girl came up to me and asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" I said, "I'm a girl of course!" She walked away, looking dazed and saying, "Whoa." FML
Today, I was working at my job as a cashier, checking out an elderly woman's groceries. She was very nice, and we chatted for a couple minutes. Once she had paid, she leaned close to me and said, very politely, "I'm so so sorry that I mistook you for a girl at first, young man." I AM a girl. FML
Today, I was talking to a friend and bemoaning the fact that my new coworkers keep mixing up my gender. She looked at me critically and said, "Yeah, until you can grow a decent beard, people are going to keep thinking you're an intern or a butch lesbian." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Aren't those extremely personal questions to be asking? Could we get a transgender/transvestite to weigh in on this discussion?

#37 The OP mentioned she was a drag queen (i.e. - a performer). I know of more then one woman that is not transgender that enjoys performing "in drag" (technically it's not true drag, but you get the idea) so it's not that uncommon. This is giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, and that he/she actually saw the woman perform. Just because they were wrong about her being trans doesn't mean they're wrong about the woman being a drag queen. But you're right. If the OP had no way of knowing whether she was really doing drag or not, then you're right back at the original problem, and it would be offensive. But my point was, that whatever the situation there is a more polite way to approach the subject. And if you can't think of one, well - if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

#42, that's like trekkies who want to be called "trekkers". Besides, the whole point of the FML is that she was neither a drag queen nor a transwoman. He first mistook her for a drag queen, so I'd say it's the appropriate word to use telling the story.

#45 There is a very big difference between transgender and transvestite. A transvestite is a person who adopts the dress and/or mannerisms of the opposite sex whilst keeping their existing gender identity. A transgendered person is someone who identifies themselves as a member of the opposite gender. Or, in short; Transvestite; dresses as the opposite gender. Trangendered person; *IS* the opposite gender.

#44 Ah, see, I read it differently. The way I understood it, the OP spoke to the woman THINKING she was a drag queen, but that she actually wasn't one - hence the mix up and ensuing dramarama. *taps head* Right there with you now.

no one reads those essay-length comments... secondly, its her own fault if people assume shes a drag queen, shes was in a GAY bar.

And this is why you shouldn't hang out at a gay bar if you look like a drag queen everyone having a cow over the use of drag queen needs to learn to read better
