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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad decided that he shouldn't have to wear clothes in the privacy of his own home. FML
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, my father decided to "prepare" me for the real world by telling me that I'm ugly. FML
Today, my dad has apparently decided that it's too much of a bother to put clothes on when he gets out of bed. He's been walking around in his tighty-whiteys for hours now. FML
Today, my dad came to pick me up. It would have been nicer if he'd had his clothes on. 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, my dad finally told me why he never paid child support to my mom when he was supposed to for the last ten years. His reason? Because I'm a girl and I wasn't that important. FML
Today, while shopping, my dad asked me to walk further away from him, saying I was cramping his style in front of all the chicks there. FML
Today, my 16-year-old son convinced my 14-year-old daughter that she wasn't allowed to use the ladies bathroom at the shopping centre, because she wasn't wearing a dress like the girl on the sign. He told her girls in pants always used the other one. She believed him. This is my legacy. FML
Today, I asked my parents if the outfit I was wearing made me look fat. My mom looked at me and paused for a while; my dad said, "Honey, that outfit doesn't make you look fat. Your fat makes you look fat." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Isn't it a little bit harsh to tell OP that she doesn't act like a girl, whilst you absolutely don't know her? And now I wonder, what is 'acting like a girl' actually? Talking about your period? Wear stilleto's? Constantly giggling? What if OP likes to be a tomboy? Or what if she just looks manly? I think she has the right to complain, it's obvious that she never knew she looked unisex, and I guess it's not nice to discover.

Eh, if you're genuinely happy looking androgynous, I'd do my best to ignore the moronic types. Some people, through no fault of their own, will never have the ability to see past "skirt=girl and tie=boy" way of thinking. I look rather androgynous, and I'm regularly hit on by gay, straight, and bi people of both genders. People claiming you won't find a guy (assuming that's even what you're into) if you don't cake on the makeup have no idea what they're talking about. Anyways, as the ever-brilliant Doctor House pointed out, people like androgyny, even if they don't know it. Think of supermodels; wide shoulders, extremely tall, angular faces, surprisingly flat chests... and yet they're considered the most attractive women out there. Of course, if the androgyny comes as a surprise to you, and you're not happy about it, that's another story. But insisting on skirts and dresses is a rather heavy-handed way to enforce gender on someone... there do exist subtler and less extreme ways of looking distinctly feminine.
