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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Clocked
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, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" 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, I was sick, and my voice was really low and raspy. A cute guy smiled at me and said hi, so I said hi too. He looked shocked and said, "Sorry bro, thought you were a girl." I am. FML
Today, I told my best friend she looked great in the dress she was wearing. My boyfriend overheard and is now convinced I'm a lesbian. 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 received the first compliment from the opposite sex that I've gotten in months, from an elderly, cross-dressing man in the parking lot of Goodwill. Apparently my clothes look like they'd be "exciting to try on." 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, as I walked home, I heard the people behind me in an argument over my gender. FML
Being nice is so 1968
Today, I decided to do something nice and compliment a stranger. I told a girl that I liked her skirt and that it looked good on her. She just rolled her eyes at me and said, "I'm not gay". FML

You should have confused them and began talking in a different pitch

She didnt have to explain it, though. Ignorance is bliss sometimes :/

Or better yet, told them you were actually a man but born looking like a woman, just for the icing on the cake.
TheCanucklehead 22
Or screeched in anger

Should've told them you'd write down your gender on a piece of paper for them. Leave and have the words "I have an unusually high voice." Leave them questioning their judgement forever!!! Always wondering...

No, OP, you should have pulled out your boobies and started singing the milk shake song. Then start doing jumping jacks naked and get the girl to join in while you guys video taped yourselves kissing and send it to me through email. That's exactly what you should have done in a situation like this.

I'm sure if she had boobs there would have been no confusion.
PunkySpunky78 15
You are wrong since I have big boobs and have strangers think I'm a guy and plus there are females with small boobs and flat chested
Spider_Web 11
Yeah I have big boobs and people keep thinking I'm a guy too

Probably that butch hair cut you got there, 64. Maybe grow it out and throw on some make up, kaboom, no more mistaken gender.

To be honest, if I wasn't aware that I was confused for the other gender, I would have wanted to know. IMO
ElricMustang 23
I'm not saying that she didn't have to find out. I'm saying that OP didn't have to have been told the reason that the other person talked to OP to begin with. Unless, am I reading your statement wrong?
AthiestNun 11
At least they complimented you :D They could have said something mean instead. I'm sure you looked fabulous.
chosha_fml 27
But was the compliment just the easiest way to get a reply?
stormstarcj 12
I would've punched the bitch!
annie_nk 23
OP already had her hand in a fist, so perfect opportunity!
Dracoboxer357 36
#4, I don't think your logic for hitting her would be correct: She came up to talk to her, to determine Op's gender. Op answered, revealing she was indeed female, and the questioner was thrilled to discover this, leading me to believe she was on Op's side in the first place by betting she was a girl. So while making such a bet may be a bit insensitive, Op would be slugging out the wrong person, IMO. :) Punch out her friends! ;P

But it's none of that stupid bitch's business on what ******* gender OP identifies as.
RoboCunnilingus 23
Yeah, I think that's a bit much for the circumstance.
AliSama 17
people confuse me for female on the phone all the time! I feel your pain!

Try getting a new home phone.

24- that's not the reason.
Kibaruto 33
I don't know why, when you're clearly a male feline.

BntyHntr I was trying to be funny.

I liked 53 better.

That's pretty rude, maybe she should have kept that part to herself. Anyways, don't let that get you down OP!
abbypoo 11
It does seem rude that she did not consider that it would make op feel bad, but from the information given it doesn't seem like she was intentionally trying to offend her either. But, just because some stranger made an insensitive comment to op doesn't mean they have to feel bad! The beauty to life is that we get to decide how we want to see things :)

Neither being male or female is a bad thing, so what's so horrible about being confused with the wrong gender? It shouldn't be offensive. A little kid once asked my transgender friend if he was a boy or a girl, and he was totally okay with being asked. Little kids seem kinda wise in that respect; there shouldn't be anything wrong with asking someone that sort of thing. There's nothing wrong with a boy looking like a girl or a girl looking like a boy.

Androgyny is so very sexy nowadays, check out some models! The media would be all over your pretty face! :3

shut up meg.
MrSassypants 34
Kind of rude to say that to OP, Pauly D.
HowieDoIt 21
That joke doesn't work with EVERY single situation.
nightowl713 25
#22- not sure if that was a reply to 12 or 16, but 12's joke did in fact fit here, seeing as how Meg has gender identity crisis in almost every episode of family guy... And 16's reference to Pauly D, was also pretty accurate based on number 12's chosen hair style. So your comment is the only one I don't see working here....
kumarina 35
Yeah, you could have live without knowing that
airhead2015 18
Some people are such dicks, but hey OP, don't let it get you down. Life is full of such stupid people.
