sorry for disappearing again there’s not much happening in my brain but I want to share a story
When I was fifteen I got my hair cut in a short shag. For a while I just had short hair (and I don’t get my hair cut as often as I should so tbh I was always in that awkward growing-out phase and looked like shit lol)
But ever since I got my hair cut like that people started confusing me for a boy. Fine, whatever, didn’t really bother me.
Fast forward four years and my hair is longer now. I STILL get confused for a man. I was at the doctors for labs and I was in the little gift shop to get a bottle of water & there was a dude talking to the woman at the counter. He moves over and says “you go ahead, sir.”
I say nothing about it cuz it was kinda mumbled and I wasn’t really sure if he actually said sir or if I misheard. I get my water and thank the lady at the counter, she says have a good day and the dude says “have a good day ma’am”
Bro had to make sure he corrected himself
I get how I can be confused for a dude because I’m tall (5’10) and I was wearing all black & also a mask but like… I have boobs dude.
Another funny story my senior year in high school some freshman girl I didn’t know heard someone call me ‘her’ and whispers “I thought that was a boy…” & this tiny freshman boy is like “how does she look like a boy?” and stares right at my chest
Idk it doesn’t really bother me cuz I dress “like a boy” & it doesn’t happen that often but ever since I got my haircut 4 years ago, it apparently has to happen at least once a year
