Are you a boy or a girl?

[Aegir]

A child once insisted I was a "boy" once while I was attempting to present as female(which is really really not hard for me T-T) at a family function, but I know he was just trying to be mean, because when I asked him why he said it was because I have "yellow teeth". I really hoped it was one of those "kids are totally perceptive" moments but he was just trying to make me feel bad. Kids are mean.

with kids, whichever answer is believable (basically if im not binding i won't say boy)

with older people, the answer of "yes" suffices

I had a boy ask me for my name once. This was before I considered myself trans, so I told them [birth name]. It was a school function where family was welcome in high school and the boy must have been about 7/8. I watched him go back to where he was before hand (with a girl, maybe his sister), and he said "It's a girl."

I've also been referred to as male, asked which gender I was, etc. by kids while presenting as female.  I, honestly, don't seem to pass as female all the time, even though I have long hair and an obviously female body.  That's one thing I don't have to worry about in regard to transitioning (though I do have plenty of other fears about it).

Anyway, I think it's cool that kids seem to pick up on people's true gender identities better than adults do.  It's like they go by the person's attitude, not the shape of their body.  And I like it that they're so directly honest about things.
