Has anyone ever confused you're gender?

    In real life: Some people assumed I was a female by my voice alone back in middle school, but I haven't been confused for one since.

    Online: I try to make it clear that I'm a male, so no one here or anywhere else online has confused my gender. :D

    Never had it happen to me in real life. Thank goodness, because I think I'd freak out. At this point, I think it'd be hard to mistake me for a man. XD;;

    Online, of course I have. I just end up correcting them and moving on. The only time I'll think it's odd is when I actually have my gender displayed, but even then, mistakes happen. No use getting worked up over it.

    Lol, I used to have really long hair, and my voice isn't very masculine, so people thought I was a girl all the time. Until I beat the hell out of one of my class mates for calling me a girl.....XD

    All the time. ;D


    Well okay, in all seriousness.. online it happens quite frequently. XD IRL it's only happened.. 3 or 4 times, and each time I was rather surprised. Honestly, looking at me, I'm not sure how anyone could be confused, but the few times it did happen I figure my hair style was responsible, or maybe however I was dressed at the time. :/ I guess.. still not sure.

    I've been mistaken for a girl several times, usually when seen from behind, because I'm short and have long hair.

    Urm, I dont think *seriously* I get a lot of chavs asking me "Are you a boy or a girl" but they obviously know the answer and just aim to offend by asking :]

    Yayy for androgyny XD

    I actually think on a couple of occasions people have generally been confused though but meh.

    My relatives all thought I was going to be born a girl, and so bought a whole bunch of pink clothes and stuff... That's how I got the name Jacob.

    Protip: look up the meaning of Jacob on Google or something.

    When I was a kid, people would assume I'm a girl on the phone. My voice got deeper but people still think that, so I change my manner of speaking into a more rude-like manner, so when people calls our phone, they'd know it's me.

    Online, not really. Also maybe because if my theme features a girl on it, it's usually from a fanservice anime.

    A number of people on a certain forum I joined 1 year ago thought I was of the other sex. I've even heard comments from two people that I write like the other sex.

    I actually enjoy it when they get my gender wrong. You can thank my obsession towards the young, androgynous Frontier Brain of the Battle Tower for that...

    Yes, when I was like 3 or 4 years old I often got mistaken for a girl by random people, I don't really know why. Probably because all children in that age look similar.
