Technically I have been "referred to as female" before, see:

but this one was definitely more polite. The parking lot attendant said "have a nice day ma'am."
It took me a couple of seconds to even realize what had happened. I liked it, it was nice, but not some earth shattering change for me.
I am pretty sure that transitioning is something I want to do, the main things holding me back are my parents, and a LOT of fear of the unknown/change. I've been hoping for some sort of sign that this is what I should do, I had hoped that passing at some level might be enough to convince me, but it is sort of nothing. I don't know.

This reminds me of when I was 16 and while at work this older gentleman called me "miss."
Little different experience for me then. I had longer hair (but not because I wanted to be a girl... *denial*). I did turn around and give the guy an annoyed look, and he was embarrassed.
On the outside I was all righteous indignation - I was a "guy" after all. But somewhere deep down inside, away from fear, away from guilt, there was a part of me that thought "really? I could pass as a girl? hmmmmmmmm :)"
It would be nice to have that kind of experience now, knowing myself better.
