That's your experience. I'm routinely read as a young man or as a what's that. I'm female. I think you really underestimate how rigid gender norms are & how quickly ppl make snap judgements about others based on v basic stereotypical outward gender cues.

Thanks. I've had long hair & short hair and I generally live in jeans and a hoodie when not at work. I used to get called "sonny" etc as a preteen, but never since puberty. Conversely my two teenage sons have similar hair to me, also live in jeans & hoodie, never get called miss
I'm sitting in the pub right now and a couple have walked in wearing matching technical cycling gear, w jackets, helmets, snoods, shades. They are average height & dressed identically. I cannot see their hair. Even out of the corner of my eye I can see its a man and a woman...

Yup, I once had to be got out of somewhere incognito (long story). It was in an Asian country where I stand out so had to be covered from head to toe. Long convo of whether to go male or female, until my friend and I realised that whatever I wore we couldn't disguise my sex

I'm tall, not very curvy, flat chested. But female bodies are differently proportioned and there was zero chance of my passing as a man. So local women's clothes it was - and we sailed through.
