[gufu1992]

[lethe]

What the *meep* is a "gufu"?


And yeah, I was confused for a woman once or twice in the past, back when my hair was... Well take Samara as an example.

[Eagle of Fire]

Well, a Phoenix is usually considered female... However, the words I choose to express myself on boards are hardly ever taken for a female participant, so I'm good on that point.

[Don Andy]

Uhm, no, not really, no one ever called me a girl XD

[Yobor]

Yes.

[moogle]

mmm, yup, by Tai I think, LOL. I forget, it was a while ago :)

[laiocfar]

The gender pshically is always clear female/male. Only if u split some strange chemicals on ya, u can change your sex in no time but it only happens in X-change.
In your head u can be hermafrodite, het. male, het. female, lez, gay, one who likes dogs, etc

[Rogue]

Gufu, are you trying to point something out? LOL

Gufu sounds like some girl from FF series....

[Aristharus]

When I was a kid, I was (in real life) mistaken for a girl all the time. Probably cause I've had long hair since 6 years old or something. (My brothers had long hair, why couldn't I? :P)

I remember my first days at school. It was weird: My classmates didn't believe I was a boy, not before the teacher assured them that I just had long hair. If the boys and girls were supposed to go to separate groups for some reason, I was always pushed out of the boy group. They didn't mean to be mean, they just didn't really believe I was a boy. They thought it was a joke or something.

This went on for about the first week of school.. Almost every day something like that happening and the teacher telling everyone that I'm not a girl, which they seemed to forget before the next day.

I myself had got used to being mistaken for a girl, so it didn't bother me, or I really didn't even think it was weird at that time.

She's coming :P

[Grinder]

I mistook Moogle for a girl. Girlish Avatar and Signature.
And I mistook A.J. Raffles for a guy. Don't know why.

[Iron_Scarecrow]

A few Asians have mistaken my name (Jeremy) for a female name.

Don't know why.

[SupSuper]

Nope, never, both in rl and online. I act as male as I can, and my nickname is gender-neutral.

[Sebatianos]

Nope, although I was confused for being one of my pupils (from a distance).

[kajjj]

yes, couple of times, on this very forum, although my profile states it clearly

Grrrr :angry: :D

[plague]

Never, which is pretty odd since I'm a lot more worse feminist than most women.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Once or twice, because of my long hair.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I was once mistaken as a double gender devourer der großen Fischgeschöpfe.

[Puffin]

Yeah, I have been.

I was, I believe, the first active girl on this forum. People assumed for a long time that I was a guy, but I never said I was or wasn't :)

Also in real life, but nothing for few months now. Sometimes I wear a hat, and I put most of my hair (which is long but thin) under it, or keep it in a double-ponytail. Most of my clothes are pretty gender-neutral. It has happened (more than once and more than twice) that my old history teacher shouted "DONT TALK SO MUCH, BOYS" at me and a guy friend of mine.
My old biolgoy teacher was handing back exams we had taken, and was reading up the names and we were to put up our hands. She read out mine, I put up my hand, and she said "no you're a guy, you can't be Freyja", and read out next name.

Also, when I went out with my ex, people would think we were gay. I wonder who was the lady of the relationship........

[SirPeter]

Puffin, loosen that hair :D

Yeah happens to me al the time. I apparently have a girlie telephone voice.
Or they think that Im an elderly woman with a bad 'smoke voice'.

I blame it on them though becaurse I always try to say my name clearly.

[BeefontheBone]

Not by anybody else .... :)

Hahahaha that is truly hilarious. Mainly because you look nothing like a boy.

[Puffin]

Well, Yobor, I can't really blame people for thinking so when I'm wearing men's clothes (which I do a lot, I find them more comfortable) and have got a hat on. I could well be a gurly guy :P

I dunno how to react to that LOL.
Fear the pom-pom!

[TheVoid]

I think it happened in this very forum, because of confusing personal photo ( I don't think I've actually ever put my pic in my profile - in AB at least. I use the real one in AR.).

In real life it's a bit more difficult to be mistaken, since at least 90% of girls don't grow a goatee.

But if your long hair covers the goatee, people might actually be mistaken!!

[auhsor]

It happened a few times to me while I was delivering pizzas. I used to have long hair and so I had it in a ponytail. Well one time I had a delivery and a little girl answered the door. Well her brother went and got their mum, and then the little girl asked inquisitively: "Are you a girl?"... And I was like "No...", And then she asked "Are you a boy?", and I was like "Um, yes". It was just really funny by the way she said it, like little kids do when they ask a question.

[BeefontheBone]

Actually that happened to me once, I was smoking a joint out the back door of a cottage on holiday and a small child asked me if I was a girl. To be fair, I did have longish hair and painted nails, though.

[Abi79]

Painted nails? No wonder that kid thought you were a girl. *searches the forums for that picture with Beef's nails :P *

LOL

I've never been mistake for a girl, my hair's way too short, and I had a beard for ages.

But I have been called a girl on many occasions

as in "Don't be such a girl" or.. "you run like a girl" :tai:

[Master MC]

I used to have long hair and everyone thought I was a girl.
