2. Ugh. Sorry. My wife was watching (well, really, the TV was still on from
another program) some sort of fashion police thing talking about the Emmys (sp?) -- and I heard this guy and girl going back and forth over different people. Then I happened to look at the screen, and the "girl" was actually a man.

8. CatWOMAN,
I would never mistake you for a man. Even though I have never talked to you.

14. Heh
it's hard to be mistaken for a man when your tits enter the room a full 30 seconds before you do

:)

17. i did see a guy with about a 50 inch chest in a restaurant in austin once
he must have been a pre-op TS. i must say his five o'clock shadow clashed with his enormous breast implants.

15. I was on the phone with a computer tech last night
and she kept calling me "sir".

I'm like: "STOP THAT!! I'M A WOMAN, DAMMIT!!"

We both laughed for about 15 minutes :)

18. I feel you
(pardon the use of the cliche)

I am mistaken for a man in person. You should SEE those faces get red when they realize I am a woman. :rofl:

22. I have the same problem...
it's a pita, can sympathize.

When they say yes, sir, I say "sir"? and then the effuse apologies.

Earlier this year, I was on a boat ride on a rather cold day -- I was bundled up, and one of the crew called me sir, I pulled off my hat to show my earrings....

24. People often think I'm a woman (on the phone)
I just laugh it off. My wife doesn't get it. She says I don't sound the least bit female on the phone.

When they start mistaking me for a woman face to face, I'll start to worry.
