Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML

Today, I noticed that my facial hair had grown by an acceptable amount. I spoke to my Dad and decided to show him, thinking he would approve of my manliness. His exact words when I showed him were, "Nah, son. You just look like a lesbian." FML
Today, I was hanging out with my two friends. My hair was hanging over my upper lip, making it look like I had a big mustache. "Hey, look guys!" I said. "I have a mustache!" "I know," they both said without looking. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I met some guys from my dad's workplace. They told him what a pretty daughter he had, to which he responded, "Nah, it's just shit-loads of makeup." FML
Today, I video-chatted with my mom and showed her my new, very short haircut. My dad walked in, took one look at me and said, "I can only attribute this to penis envy," and walked out again. FML
Today, I found out that my dad makes me wear dresses and skirts not because I look pretty in them, but because he was sick and tired of people asking him if I was a boy or a girl. FML
Today, I got my long hair cut in a short pixie cut. When my five year old daughter saw me she laughed and proclaimed 'You look just like a man!'. That afternoon I got a concerned call from the school. My daughter has told everyone 'mummy has gone away, I now have two daddies!' FML
Today, my family and I ran into an older man my parents knew. He continually asked me questions like do you play football, have you started shaving yet, etc. I thought he was joking. He told my parents I had grown into quite a young man. I am a girl and he wasn't joking. 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, despite having long hair and wearing makeup and a dress, I was still mistaken for a man several times. I'm a girl and I was born a girl. FML
Today, after cutting my hair and shaving, I had girls hitting on me for the first time ever! Too bad they thought I was a butch lesbian, not a man. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm assuming he thought you were a cross-dressing man or something

Should have just made an fml about having the hormone imbalance, that's obviously what's wrong...

That's not nearly as entertaining, though.

This actually just reminded me of a situation I had when I was in 4th grade. I chopped almost all of my hair off, and I looked just like a boy. I had many, many strangers ask my parents about their "son".

Same thing happened to me when I was younger. Cut my hair and a lady in a grocery store thought I was a boy. Every time I go to get my hair cut now, I still think of that moment. Gotta love childhood traumas, lol.

Have you gone mental?

"girls will be boys and boys will be girls, it's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world except for Lola" It's from a Kinks song. Either(ee) no one understood or they thought it was a stupid comment. Can't win them all.:P

Oh... Well... In that case... Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola.

You should try and get that hormone imbalance in check. Try going to an OB about it if your regular doctor wont help. They will put you on medication, usually either birth control of metphormin, to try and balance it out. Either way I hope everything turns out well. If you don't get it reversed ASAP it will only get worse and have a high probability that you wont be able to get pregnant later on in life.

Try not to worry about it OP he sounds like an idiot and a weirdo for using the phrase, "strapping young boys" is he still living in the 19th century?

He should have said, "Your swaged out pimps."
