    Are you a boy?

    Lady: Are you a boy / a male?
    Me: No. I am a lady. I have long hair (in a ponytail) and wear a dress.

    According to an acquaintance who came by later, I look and sound like a lady like I'm supposed to.

    Do I have to
    • wear pink
    • get a bigger bra size
    • carry around a purse
    • wear high heel shoes
    It's called common sense for a reason

    No, she needs to get her eyes checked. She also needs to acquire the tact gene.
    This site proves Corey Taylor right. Man really is a "four letter word."

    I'm now using my Deviant Art page to post my humor.

      "Is my gender relevent?" I hope that's my response if someone ever asks, either about me or someone else. It would never occur to me to ask anyone...

        Who the Heck walks up and just asks you what your gender is?

        I mean aside from Professor Oak.

        In order to treat someone as your equal, you first need to believe both: that they are your equal, and that you are their's.

          Unless it's relevant for some reason, I don't see it's anybody's business.

          I have to ask for customers' gender (the form says "sex," also race and ethnicity) for certain types of loan applications. I try to explain that it's for government monitoring to show that we're not discriminating. I also tend to ask, "do you identify as male or female?" since that's the only options of the form. The customer can check the box themselves, but if they don't, I have to ask. I find it very awkward.
          "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

            It's definitely awkward and not relevant. I was selling her some leggings.

            Would it matter my store was formally GameStop?

                Some people will automatically call someone "sir", even if the other person looks just like Dolly Parton. I've also seen men who look like Paul Bunyan referred to as "ma'am" or "miss". Don't know why, maybe it's self-centeredness, lack of awareness of their surroundings, thoughtlessness, maybe even deliberate rudeness. It is annoying to be on the receiving end of it.
                I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
