Have you ever unintentionally outed yourself?

About 2 weeks after I had my name/document changes, one of our friends asked us to come along dancing with their friends who were a lesbian couple from Kentucky that came to NYC to get married. So they wanted to visit The Stonewall Inn and Henrietta Hudson (lesbian bar). We danced and drank and I thought for sure my voice would out me given how loud I had to talk. So at the end of the night (about 3am) one of them asked how long my wife and I had been together. Both my wife and I responded 19 years, married for 17. She looked confused and asked how that was possible. I told her I was trans and she didn't believe me. I then showed her an old picture on my phone and she still didn't believe me saying that it had to be my brother. Finally I took our friends and my wife to convince her. The look on her face was priceless and she gave me a big hug

Yes, it made a lesson well learned about staying sober when out with strangers.

I once put on some eyeliner the night before and kinda fell asleep with it forgetting to take it off, I didn't realise and still had some on the next day and only noticed by the time I had to leave for school.

I had my math exam that day and looked to the ground the whole day, when I went to give in my paper to the teacher she was really surprised by my eyes probably. (Stunned of course  )

And when I got home and it was dinner already suddenly my mother brought up while lauging

"Your eyes look like you put on some eyeliner haha", response... "That's because it is"

and everyone got really silent then haha (they didn't knew about me being trans at that time)

I forgot about a recent episode where I tried out some really "young looking" glitter mascara. It seemed like a good idea, but when I went to take it off, small bits of glitter were EVERYWHERE! MY SO was mortified, as I am not OUT to the community. But, everywhere we went for a week she would look at my eyes and make sure none of the glitter was showing. I only had one person comment, and I just looked at them and said, "Wow, that's really strange isn't it." lol
