    People have been saying lately that I look like a boy or a man. I don't even know how to take it. I want to think that people are finally seeing me as who I am, but part of me wonders if maybe they're wanting me to look more feminine so they tell me that because they're hoping I'll change. I'm not out to a lot of people, so I guess it's possible that they're actually noticing my abrasive manliness. OK, maybe abrasive manliness is a bit of a stretch. Either way, I am pretty curious. It seems like outside of work, people are less likely to call me "ma'am" right from the get-go, or even at all. I don't get called "sir" either, but I think that's a good start. I'm not even sure what I'm wanting people to say in response to this, but I just thought I'd share.

    Frankly, for not being raised or socialized male, I think I'm doing pretty well. :icon_bigg

    Well, in your profile picture, you look like Conan OBrien.
