    I got recognized today without specifying my identity to the person! :icon_bigg

    I was talking to this guy who, out of the blue, asks what gender pronouns I prefer. I say I don't mind and then half way through the conversation I make a joke about being manly and he says 'yeah, I noticed that when I first met you. A bit of both. It's great."

    This is a guy that's only ever seen me in 'girl mode', who knows nothing about how I define myself. It was such a ridiculously awesome moment to not only be recognized for what I really am but also for someone to point it out in an admiring rather than derisive way. My happiness about this is even more potent because I caught him checking me out and flirting a few times during our conversation. He wasn't turned off by it in the slightest - he even kept up with me changing between the two during our talk!

    Me and my friend were walking into a concert and a guard guy referred to me as a guy when he said hi to us :grin: Otherwise I haven't been correctly identified without specifying >.>;;

    Most bizarre time for me was when I answered the door in my pajamas and I obviously had breasts but the mail man called me "sir." I think it's about confidence more than physicality quite a lot of the time.
