Would it bother you?

After reading the ♀Gender Game♂ on the trivia section of the forums I got curious about something.

I know some people who get very, very offended about being called the wrong gender, and at the same time I know some people who don't care much about it. So my questions to you are;

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender online, does it bother you?
If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender online, does it bother you? no. i actually find it amusing!
If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you? only over the phone, but i can understand why people mistake me for a woman. when i talk over the phone, i tend to have this overly polite tone that you would expect from a grandmother. that's really the only time someone confuses my gender. if someone thinks i'm a girl otherwise then they need their eyes checked, i'd say!

It annoys me a lot. I've been mistaken for a boy several times, once by somebody who'd already known me for a while.

That I hate. When I was about seven or so, my haircut often led people to believe I was a boy. It doesn't happen anymore, thankfully.

Oops, looks like I forgot to add my own answers! That was awfully silly of me.

Not at all. I find it quite funny when people do. I have no issue if people would rather call me male or female.

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?
Again, not really. It happens quite often - I'm rather androgynous in both appearance and attitude. It used to bother me, when people first started to call me the wrong gender, but now I'm quite used to it.

Meh, it's not like real life so I don't care.

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?
Psh yeah. I look too masculine to look like a female... unless they were blind. But yeah my voice is deep also so there's no reason they should think I'm a girl...

>If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender online, does it bother you?
Νah, I guess I'd be fine. It never happened, though-or at least nobody told me that, so I guess I haven't experienced it either.

>If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?
One has to be too short-sighted to mistake me for a girl. Therefore, it never happened in real life, either, but I guess if it did I'd be a little bothered. I'd probably tell them "u mad" or something.

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender online, does it bother you?
No because I don't tend to act overly feminine in my posting. Nor to I ever change my gender to confuse people.

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?
No, I really don't really have female or much female qualities about me. I think I have only been mistaken for a girl once and that was either at the end of last year or earlier this year when an old lady sad miss you dropped something cause I had long hair for my standards and apparently hers as well. So I just smiled and said "Thanks but I am a guy *chuckle*".

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender online, does it bother you?
Nope, it'll be hard for someone to think i'm a guy
If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?
Of course! But that would probably be a joke :)

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender online, does it bother you?
Not at all. A username and an avatar is very little to go on when determining gender over the Internet. I just correct them and laugh it off.

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?
It used to. It's only happened to me once, and that was because I was calling out to someone from behind a bus seat. My voice is neither deep nor annoyingly high-pitched, so I could see how someone might not recognize my gender right away. These days I wouldn't be bothered by it; I would only suggest that whoever makes such a mistake face-to-face should get their eyes checked, because visually I'm pretty damn feminine.

I hate it when people think I am a dude. What's the deal with that? Am I subtly giving off the wrong impression somewhere?

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender online, does it bother you?
My username rules out that possibility, but if it actually happens, I don't care and I will correct them.

If someone mistakes you for the wrong gender offline, does it bother you?
Again that possibility tends to null, seeing as I actually have the qualities and features of an actual man. Nothing in my appearance, behavior or voice may lead someone to believe otherwise.

I can't imagine how anybody could possibly confuse my gender irl, so I'd probably just laugh at them for being blind. lol

Online, It'd still be pretty tough to confuse me with a girl, but I guess if someone didn't know me, and heard me talking about a guy or something, they might assume I was a girl.

(Sorry I did them backwards. lol)

Either way... I wouldn't care xD But, no one has mistaken my gender anyways :P

Online? It used to bother me a lot when I was younger. Now it just amuses me cause I'm very so obviously female that I can't quite fathom how they came to think of me as male.

Offline? If it ever happened I think it would bother me, because again- so very obviously female. But the reason it would bother me offline is that offline we are judged more on physical appearance than attitude and behaviour, and if you're thinking I'm a boy... gosh you must be like... blind. I dunno, it's almost offensive to me that you would call me male. I revel in my blatant femininity.

Honestly I don't mind if someone mistakes my gender as a female online. I like to think of myself as both male and female anyways. In real life, well I tend to come off as more of a guy though so I would be more surprised if I were to mistaken for a female. I mean one time since I had my hoodie on I was mistaken for a girl, not like I cared to be honest. xD
