Today, someone started to scream at me that "I needed Jesus" and that "I would never be a real woman." When they realized I'm a guy with long hair, they got physically angry at me for "lying to them." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to go get my hair cut because it was getting a bit long. I told the lady that I wanted it way short and she replied "Why? You will look like a guy sweetie." I am a guy. 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
Today, a crazy woman grabbed my hair and mentioned how lovely it was. She then asked when I would donate it. I told her I didn't want to, at which point she started yelling that she was going to get some scissors and cut it all off to teach me a lesson. FML
Today, after growing my hair out for over a year and constantly being told that it makes me look like a girl, I finally cut it. The first thing my friends said when they saw me was that I now look like a "lesbian." FML
Today, I was walking down my street when a girl came up behind me and started yelling about me being a slut. When she saw I was the wrong person, she continued to yell at me because I have blonde hair. FML
Today, I was stopped by a customer who told me that I looked like a nice woman. I thanked him for the compliment and pointed out that I was a man. With an obviously male name on my name tag. And visible facial hair. 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, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML
Today, I had an elderly woman come up to me and tell me how well I pull off the look of being bald. She said that most women can't look attractive without hair. Then she asked me if I had cancer. I had to explain to her that I am, in fact, a man, and I shave my head because I'm a swimmer. FML
Today, I’m doing my clinicals at a teaching hospital. An irate patient began hurling slurs and demanded I leave the room during her exam. She didn’t care that I was a student; she thought I was a man. I’m not now nor have I ever been male. FML

Plot twist: This was a date and someone didn't read the profile before swiping right.

I guess it could be that they had physical signs of being angry- red face, bulging veins, shaking, aggressively approaching. Although that is not physical abuse, those physical signs would be enough to scare me. I guess I am comparing this to an online ramble, or calmly stating this from across the room. just playing devil's advocate.

What's "physically" angry? Did someone tell you that you were using "literally" too much and purposelessly, and you decided to use another adverb to sound smart?

This reminds me of something that happened long ago. I went into a bar and saw a person I assumed to be a woman with beautiful long hair. I sat down and immediately realized it was apparently a guy with long hair. Not wanting to look stupid I bought one drink and moved on… I have nothing against whatever hair length anyone of any pronoun wears. I had shoulder length hair myself in college. I have a feeling OP left out some stuff or the person who reacted like this was was drunk, high, or just stupid…

At first I thought it actually might be Jesus. (long hair) But then I figured out it's just your normal run of the mill Christian.
