To start off, I am Pre-T. Today I had to make a call to a utility company. My birthname is on the account. When I gave the lady my information she said I need to speak to "birthname" is this her son? I was super stoked. I also talked to my niece on the phone the other day and she thought I was her dad. I'm pretty pumped I have passed 2 times in one week on the phone! I was excited and wanted to tell someone. ;D

Feels great doesn't it?
That's cool, but how did you get out of the awkward situation? You would have had to correct the lady, or I suppose you could just go along with her assumption, that you are your own son. :laugh:

I just went along with it. I didn't need any information off of the account, I just needed to ask a question lol
ah that's so cool. the phone is hard. i've been on T over 7 months and a month ago i got asked for my maiden name.
*frown*
Meh. I've always sounded like a he-she, but because I also sound like a child, I tend to get she'd.
I've always felt when I talk to people who don't know me on the phone, they don't know if I'm a boy or a girl, but lately I've been getting "sir" a lot more, and no complaints from me. In person I think if people look at me and think then male my voice passes, but if they are confused I think my voice leads them to believe I'm a girl. Oh well though, it makes a boy feel good to know I have a chance to pass on the phone haha
I always get sir'd now on the phone. Even people I work with (call center) think Im the dude who sits next to me when I have to transfer a call! ;D
It feels great doesn't it??
Only problem is when things are in female name.. still... grrr..
