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.

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.

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!

It feels great doesn't it??

Only problem is when things are in female name.. still... grrr..
