excellent way of putting it. as much as it's happened in the past, i
started thinking i was some sort of untouchable after awhile.

my mom had a very deep voice and used to get called sir at drive-thrus.
they always apologized a lot tho when they saw her cause she was very
feminine.

mm the only time i was actively pissed off (not upset, mind, just irate)
by it was when some dumbass new desk clerk at my college dorm tried to tell
me that i couldnt go in as i was not the correct sex. bad move. i whipped off
my shirt and he went bright red and apologized like mad and then had the
gall to try and ask me out.
