Hare Boi
Just had a group of teenage boys yell "GAY BOY" at me from across the street, then, after about ten seconds, shout "LESBO" too.

Which one is it? I can't be both.

Hah, I've gotten called a lesbian before by some rednecks. I guess I look feminine enough.

What gives you away as either of those?

Androgyny.
One hell of a drug.
I look more female, but I don't dress in a feminine sense.
Those two things confuse people's small minds.

If they see me as a woman = lesbian, because according to them straight women aren't gothic.
And if they see me as a man = gay, because I don't look like a male and therefore that equals gay for some reason.

Hmmm when you will be both then you are bi...

Actually, the combination of a lesbian + a gay man would probably mean a hermaphrodite who's only into other hermaphrodites, right?

I get confused for being 13 - 14 years old because of my height but man, that sounds like a pain in the ass to deal with. Do live rural, city, or in between?

Sorry to hear that. I wouldn't see any problem with either a man or a wearing goth... however I will admit, when I can't immediately discern whether someone is male or female, I get thrown for a loop. I suspect this is due to a biological need to immediately make threat assessments of a person.

Currently living pretty rural, though I'm used to city life and will probably move back.
It's definitely worse in the city, with California getting me the most unwanted attention so far.
Lived there for a while and oh man. I'm still completely happy with the way I am but it's far from easy.

I honestly don't mind if people are confused.
It's abnormal, so, I wouldn't expect anyone to not think of it as such.
In fact sometimes that's part of the fun.

It stops being fun when people assume you're a giant walking gay stereotype.

That seems odd. They're supposed to be all liberal and accepting and everything.

Yeah, and we're all abnormal in some part, it's part of being human, so we shouldn't make fun of people for that.

See, I think that's the problem.
In California, it's less like haha lets yell at him because he looks gay and more like let's go sexually harass that person because I'm a fucking moron who assumes every gender non conforming male is into my weird gay BDSM butt fantasies.

Given the choice, I much prefer the homophobes over the perverts any day.
Homophobes might be loud, but they're unlikely to actually touch you, or to follow you.
Eugh.

Hmph. Yeah, that doesn't sound fun. I guess there's creeps everywhere.

In my small Missouri towns, it was all the overgrown guys with beer bellies who'd hit on 15 year old girls constantly. YEAAAAAH and sometimes they'd actually marry them too.

Ah, America.
Thankfully there's less of that in Europe.
As far as I can tell anyway.

Oh, are you in Europe? Yes, I would generally say Europe is less, um, plebeian than we are, although it depends, a few countries still have some backwards views, but on average I say we're less sophisticated.

You'd be hard-pressed to find any country to live in where you don't hear about something unethical happening on a regular basis. America is just the center of attention every day, so it's easier for people to pin down cancers in our society.
