I'm tall and with really short hair. I've always preferred short hair. But yes, I have been mistaken for a man many times in my life, usually at a sideways glance or not a close look. But as time goes by, I care less and less about that. Just this past weekend, I was doing a mt. bike race, and a few times a passing rider or one I was overtaking said something like, "nice going, buddy," or "keep it up, man," or "on your left, dude." It's kind of funny, to feel like for a minute that I was an impostor, sneaking in on the "world of men", and seeing how they talk to one another.

once while i was in a public pool/community rec place sort of thing. i was heading to the ladies washroom. the guy at the desk tried to stop me saying "young man!" i had no idea he was talking to me. my sister told him "um, thats a girl" i think i was about 10-12. that sort of thing happened a lot.
i insisted on short hair cuz it was easy to take care of. didnt ware earrings until i was over 18. and hated dresses. and im fairly flat chested.
i had major self esteem issues growing up. my mom used to make fun of me for having a flat chest and fat thighs and butt. lots of times getting mistaken for a boy. now i have longish hair and it dosnt happen. i do get "shouldnt you be in school?" i like hearing that now
last week a busdriver thought i was under 18. i almost wanted to hug him!
