Have you been mistaken for the opposite gender on the forums/IRL?

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

Truthfully, I tend to confuse a lot of people with my gender online quite often. Due to me exuding a feminine personality a lot, not to mention using female avis along images, I can fool most people. There have even been a few who could see past it, though those people are few and far between. If anyone here calls me a 'she' on accident, no worries. I am not offended. I'd be rather flattered and... kinda blushy...

On the forums, yes at times because my name had Maud Pie in it therefore, some members called me Maud. In real life, never.

[Finesthour 7,287]

A long long time ago, people thought I was a moody girl who roleplayed a lot.

I was just a moody boy :^)

[catnet 9,358]

Though my personality here and IRL is more feminine, I don't believe I've ever been mistaken for a girl before. If I let my hair grow any longer though, who knows... X3

[Starlighty 976]

Yes! Was on the phone was with someone and they are like "sir" i'm like what??? My voice doesn't sound like a guy at all!

[Invincible 2,091]

Never on the forums, though once in real life.

 

Although i'm somewhat tall, i have a rather slender build. That, my clean-shave and a long-grown hair made me look somewhat like a girl and some old woman mistook me for one... yeah, was kind of weird but it only happened once.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

No,I've made it very clear that I am a guy.

 

However,I was mistaken for a girl one time when I was playing Black Ops.

That was awkward. 

[HeroSparks 232]

I've never been confused for the opposite gender online, at least to my knowledge. IRL I've been a cashier for a few years and occasionally a customer comes through my line not paying attention and says ma'am or miss. Actually had it happen a couple days ago. A woman called me miss and caught herself, said sir, and apologized. Told her it was okay, it happens occasionally, and said most people don't even bother apologizing. Her response? "Well you look like a girl anyways." Which was very confusing because A: I don't, and B: I had a face full of stubble because I hadn't shaved for a couple days

[Grepper 3,192]

I've never been mistaken for a female online, but many people assume that everyone on the internet is male, unfortunately. On this forum I make sure to check a user's profile before referring to them with gender-specific pronouns.

 

I have never been mistaken for a female in real life because I have short hair and a flat chest.

[Screw Loose 156]

Online without posting a picture I have many times, but irl, or online, when someone see's me I've never been confused as the opposite gender.

[10InTheTardis 509]

Well, about 2 or 3 years ago I had hair that almost went down to my shoulders, so I was accidentally called a girl a few times. 

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

I'm pretty sure most people know I'm a guy. x)

[Magic Note 2,748]

Not on the forums, I haven't, yet. However, I have been mistaken for a female on the phone or on the microphone. It's because my throat is seemingly perpetually dry.

[EquestriaGuy 1,074]

Only once, by this guy....I think he threatened to kill me too.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,303]

In person, yes.  I got complimented for being a pretty little girl; though I was actually a boy.  Later on, as a probably-preteen with longish hair and some extra weight, I was mistaken for a female.  Partly because bumpy reasons.

[gone~ 614]

Although I feel like I act more feminine than masculine (both online and IRL), I have never been mistaken for a female.

[Odyssey 5,717]

On the forums, I do tend to get my gender mistaken. Although I do think it's justifiable, as the majority of users here are male. Plus most of my other interests are sort of masculine. But it probably wont be an issue now that I've publicly revealed my gender on my profile.

 

As in real life, it has never happened. It's easy to recognise that I'm female, given how I look overall.

[Roketsune 388]

I don't remember anyone stating they believed I'm a girl online, though I'm sure at least a few people who have observed me on online media and lacked knowledge of me perceived me as female. IRL, I've been mistaken for a girl several times that I know of, probably because of the extremely colorful crossdressing and long hair. I had one old man some months back state he was heterosexual but actually found me sexually attractive.

 

*giggles mischievously* I get a thrill whenever someone mistakes me for a female, or is uncharacteristically attracted. I've actually gone as far as laser hair removal to feminize my appearance, though I don't want to actually transition to a female. I just love being an androgynous flamer femboi. Of course, my fursona's even more of a rampant and shameless femboi than I am IRL (and a lot cuter).

[LittleMac 3,085]

Nope. But both my sisters have, numerous times lol XD

[SkullcandyPegasus 604]

Heh, that's the great thing about being intersex. You technically CAN'T be mistaken for the wrong gender

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,162]

On the forums? Oddly enough no. However, in real life, yes, and it's so strange because naturally my voice can sound somewhat deep...at least to my ears. However when on the phone or the drive-thru microphone I have constantly been mistaken for a female.

 

Hell, a few males flirted with me.

[Canary Yellow 85]

This happens to me sometimes here on the forums and a few other websites. However in real life my face is too feminine to be confused with a guy's face.

[Trickilee 139]

I never really stop to think about it. Concerning yourself with gender on the Internet is a bit like concerning yourself with gluten-free products at the supermarket.

 

Heh, that's the great thing about being intersex. You technically CAN'T be mistaken for the wrong gender

 

You can't be mistaken for the right one either.

[Holiday Agnaktor 1,436]

I have never been mistaken for a girl, but my big sister is mistaken for a boy almost daily. It's pretty funny at times... :3

[Catsle 604]

I've been mistaken as a girl, IRL my voice is a bit rough and on the forums I use Castle as a name, which leans to the guy side
