I was sitting in the waiting room for my electrolysis appointment when I see the door open and out comes a little girl. She runs right over to me and says "hi" so I respond politely with "Hi, what's your name?". Her name was Hayliegh and she was 3 years old, it's not long into our chat when her mom starts calling for her and little Hayliegh runs off. I hear Hayliegh tell her mother that she is "talking to a girl", a grin hits me instantly. Later that day I am at a book store with some friends, I have just purchased my books and one of my friends is at the register. The cashier calls over his co-worker and asks him if I am a girl or a boy. My friend gets very offended and tells them where to go and how to get there, but I just smile.
I have started to make people think instead of the assumptions I am male. It is a good feeling when you start to pass even if it's not 100% as a woman but as androgynous. How have other people experienced this "wall"?
