I am 23 and I have a two year old sister. Yesterday, my grandmother referred to me as a girl and my little sister goes "But Jesse is a boy!"
I present as female and my two year old sister has no clue what trans is. She refers to me as her sister, but she has some how picked up on my gender. 
I just thought it was cool.

Awesome!! Little things like that tend to always make your day.

It is cool. She sees you as her sister and a boy. My kids see me as their dad and a woman. These thing are indeed cool.

Yeah it's pretty cool. Young kids can be like this. I posted this in the androgyne section (though no one commented), I let a kid pet my dog. Dad thanked me "Thanks ma'am" and the kid says "thanks man". (I am guessing the kid heard "man" from dad, but it seemed to fit for him.)
Made me so happy! I don't pass at all, though I think some people might be confused.

hehe kids are cool on that point..

Once I was home with a friend she had a little brother they where talking about me and hadnt got used to my trans status so they both used female and male pronoucing and names..

her::::: well ___* male name* said ____ he-_____
mom: well female name*...___ her....

the brother got confussed saying: "he? she? its so confussing from now one I will name your cucumber


me--->

Some times people can just pick up on your gender without realising it.  I've found that whenever I'm smoking at school with the boys in my year they always treat me like any other guy, even though they only know me by my birthname and as a female, and there's another kid at my school who I've heard say 'he' about me before, even though he sees me 99% of the time in uniform.  My grandad also calls me "mate" which to me is a male term and he never uses it to any of my female cousins.

That is amazing, young family members who love you are without doubt the ones who are able to accept who you really are easier, and understand who you really are.  As I very happily learnt from my niece.  Congratulations on showing who you really are and having your sister recognise you for your true self. Very happy moment!

I know she knows boys are brothers and girls are sisters, so I'm not sure how she thinks I am both her sister and a boy.
People often accidently use male pronouns with me even when I'm looking very feminine. The other day a coworker said something like "I want a guys opinion...." then asked me.
I can say I show her who I really am, since I'm still living as a woman. If I ever get to transition, I hope she does accept me.

The term "guys" can be completely used without regard to gender. I've had restaurants-- and I really love this-- saying "what do you guys want?" (At least it's clear that the person I went with is female.)

I would guess that's what your little sister thinks. Also I think that little kids are more fluid and less confused by this stuff. I can see them saying "That's my sister, he's a boy!" The seeming incongruentity doesn't bother them at all.

It's true. "Guy" has become a largely unisex term.

Uhm. Grammatically speaking, I cannot let this slide - "I want a guy's opinion" is not unisex. In most situations, referring to a group of people as 'guys', yes, but this is GUY'S, possessive, as in 'the opinion of a guy'. Guy by itself isn't generally unisex.

I think I will have to concede. It only seems unisex in the plural usage. I would never call a woman "guy" but I have referred to groups as "guys" even if they were all women. Weird.

I have to concede the point. It's odd huh?
