Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML
Today, my mom was named principal of the school I go to. FML
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to announce to the class that I finally got a girlfriend. I received a standing ovation. FML
Today, I won an academic award during an assembly. Everyone laughed, followed by booing. FML
Today, was my high school's senior awards ceremony. Over 400 people were crammed in the hot auditorium. I won five awards and each time I was called up the laughter grew louder. Apparently even the back row could see my pit stains. FML
Today, while in class, I was called down to the office. The principal showed me a video of two guys fighting in the school parking lot. I'm accused of being one of those guys. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML
Today, I found out that my entire school differentiates me from another girl in my grade with the same name by saying, "No, she's the lesbian one." I'm straight. FML
Today, I discovered the guy that sits next to me in class is actually a girl. Not only is that bad, but we had to write a paper about each other. I used the words "him" and "he", and read it to the whole class. FML
Today, I received an award from my school rewarding me for my honor roll and my cheerleading. When I brought the certificate home my mom congratulated me and hugged me. I worked really hard for this and all my dad had to say was, "Try this flavor of Doritos." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So...do you have a gender neutral name too or what's the deal here?

Hrm, my guess is that the principle saw only your name and assumed you were a guy and went on with his speech. no worries, you'll get over it

Well, whatever the cause, you should have corrected him... it's just kinda rude of him to assume from the name. And it has happened before, some girls look pretty androgynous (and some men too obviously) -- without cues like voice and clothes it can be difficult to tell based on looks alone. So you were unlucky this time... if you want to prevent being mistaken then you might want to consciously 'code' your dressing as 'feminine', wear skirts and/or blouses with frills or something; dresses, etc. If not then just correct these people if they get it wrong; it's not really a bad thing if you don't feel bad about it, and says nothing about how attractive you are: many androgynous people are very good looking.

omg that sucks, what a bastard... but i'm guessing that your name is like Sam or something right? something unisex, otherwise your principal is a ******* moron
