    I (M) have a very long often braided hair and for me its always so funny when at my work some people see me from behind and say something like “hey girl”, then i turn around and have a beard and a deep voice. Thankfully i have been largely spared from harrasment because of long hair.

      When I was a teenager I pretty much wanted to be Kurt Cobain.

      I got me a badass silver shirt like he was wearing in the Heart Shaped Box video.

      Any way, I was walking past the pay phone in a gas station parking lot when this fella said, “hey girl, nice ass.” I didn’t think he was talking to me so I kept walking, then he said, “hey shiny shirt. Don’t be shy.”

      I turned around, clearly a dude, and he looked so humiliated. He said, “Oh bro, dude, it’s the shirt and the hair man. I’m sorry.”

      I said, “well don’t back down on me now honey, I’m already worked up.”

      He then threatened to beat my ass while my friends and I laughed hysterically. Not gonna lie though, I was a little scared. I mean, we were rough hillbilly kids so I knew my friends would beat the shit out of him, but I was still a bit worried.

      Honestly outside of the weird issues with my school and a bit of egging online I haven’t really experienced any major problems because of it, though I’m not sure if that’s because most people don’t mind or because they think I actually am a young girl since I do have a condition that causes me to look much younger than I am and also very androgynous.
