Today, I was mistaken for my twin brother twice. This probably wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a girl. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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
Bad hair day
Today, I mistook a little girl for a boy. Unfortunately, I only realised my mistake until after I'd cut her hair. FML
Today, on more than one occasion, I was mistaken for my boyfriend's mother, by his own family. FML
Today, I was mistaken for a prostitute. Twice. While in my work uniform. FML
Today, I found out that even though my sister and I are identical twins, I'm known as "The ugly one". FML
Time is on my side
Today, I, a person who will be 21 in a few months, was mistaken for my mom's older brother. My mom is in her fifties. Apparently this is becoming increasingly common, because the world sucks. I didn't realize it was affecting me this badly. FML
Not anyone's favorite
Today, everyone at school told me to wish my brother a happy birthday. We're twins. FML
Today, there's a new freshman at my school that looks exactly like me. Whenever we see her, my friends shout "Twinzies!" I don't have anything against her, but I'm bummed because I'm a male senior. FML
Today, I learned that being a twin really isn't that cool. After laughing at my twin brother for getting a speeding ticket he turns to me and says "It's not mine." Confused, I look at the ticket and see my name. He used my license. FML
Today, my identical twin sister's boyfriend walked over to me, and whispered in my ear, "I know what you look like naked." FML

Being a twin, op, I can rightfully tell you that getting mixed up even when you're both guys, sucks even more.

How can that suck more? There is no addition of suck when you are both guys. When one is girl and one is boy, the additional suck is being recognized as the wrong sex.

I think because some people consider twins to be one person and when you're the same gender that tends to happen more. When you're girl and boy twins people will make more of an effort to call you by the right name. However, same gender twins get mixed up way more, so I think that's why he was saying it sucked more, as it's more likely to happen and more often.

Because being identical, no one made the effort to find the differences, and our names both end the same way, so they just called us both by that. My grandparents didn't even try to the point where they just bought 2 of everything, thinking we both had the same style and likings.

if you didnt cut your hair and style like a dude's then they probably wouldnt have mistaken you.

You dont necessarily have to wear dresses or skirts... I don't. But you're obviously wearing something misleading. Maybe you're the type that wears only t-shirts... So I'd say switch it up!

If OP wants to dress like that, they can. If it bothers them enough and they want to change their looks, they can too. But, it's their choice, and you shouldn't say that it's "misleading", it's kind of sexist to imply that certain clothes can only be worn by certain genders. Girls can wear t-shirts and hoodies and jeans, boys can wear pink and skirts and frills, if they choose. Really, people can wear what they wish.

Except for jeggings. Just say no to jeggings.

You CAN wear whatever you want. I never said she couldn't. But seeing as she isn't happy with the attention she is getting with the clothes she is wearing then like I said... she should switch it up. As for the misleading... Certain clothes are made for women and certain clothes are made for men. Yeah they can wear the men clothes or girl clothes, but if you do then don't complain about your f'd up life.

And you're crazy. No man should wear a frill or dress; that's disturbing.

Time for a makeover??

Doesn't necessarily mean you look masculine, your brother might just look feminine or androgynous. If it really bothers you that much, maybe get a haircut or dress differently?

Thanks for continuing to push the sexist stereotypes that only women can wear skirts and women only wear skirts.
