I am an almost 25 year old women. Today someone mistook me for a teenage boy. I cut my hair really short the other day. I didn’t plan on going that short, but my hairdresser seems to do what she wants. I was wearing men’s skater shoes, bootcut jeans that look gender neutral even though they are women’s. I was wearing a Hollister hoodie, which I thought looked obviously feminine. I have a pretty narrow body. I don’t have noticeable hips. I was also sitting down.

I honestly didn’t mind. One of my goals was to lose weight so I’d look more like a guy then a girl. I’d much rather look like a teenage boy then a women with curves and hips. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just not the way I want to look.

Has this happened to anyone else? Where someone confuses your gender or age?
