Aghghghgh! I don't think my gender looks ambiguous!!!! This morning, right after I woke up, I got dressed (sans makeup, etc) bc the cable guy was supposed to arrive to fix our internet. Well, he walked inside, and the first thing he asked was, "Excuse me, are you a he or a she?" LOL! I thought I heard it right (He did have an accent.), but I had to ask him, "Excuse me?" He repeated it, "Are you a he or a she?" I replied, "I'm a girl. I just have no makeup on and my hair in a pony tail." LOL. I couldn't really be offended bc I've wanted to ask people that before, too...I just didn't think I was one of the ones w/ ambiguous gender!!!! Gosh! It's not like I don't have big boobs! I had a cute little pink shirt on, too. Did he think I am a drag queen or something? LOL

If he did think you were a drag queen, he was stupid, because a drag queen would have had on make-up! Maybe he just asks everybody that? Perhaps he's met a lot of trans people.

LOL. I have NO idea! I haven't seen many in our area. They're mostly down south. Apparently, there's a neighborhood where the majority hang out. LOL

"Hoss!" LOL! I didn't think of a smart answer for him; I was just so much in shock!

We had our internet installed this AM. It was early, I fell asleep on the couch :x Ooops!!
I accidently asked this little girl is her sister was waiting for her outside of an airplane. She just sorta looked at me weird and told me she didn't have a sister......Awkward. Yeah.

Bless you ouchy!!! If that happened to me I would be VERY tempted to say I was a he and play along!! You know you said that you've always wanted to ask someone well maybe he has too and just thought "s*d it" the next person I see, I'll ask ??

No. Not at all! It was just so funny that he was unsure of my gender. I don't really think he was. He may have actually been expecting to see a man bc of the name on the work request. I have no idea. But it's funny. I'm not worried if he couldn't tell my gender. I think it's funny that he asked. I wanted to compliment him on his use of correct pronouns, "he" and "she." LOL. It's obvious that I'm a girl.

Oh goodness.. laughing at the whole thing. Ppl can be so dumb sometimes. I remember I was at the pediatricians office when my now 12 year old daughter was about 9 months old. She had her ears pierced, a pink and purple dress on with flowery sandles on and ponytails. Why did someone ask me how old my son was? I just looked at them and said... what? I got no reply. DUH!!! LOL
