You may want to add sex to your poll. I haven't (cisgender male) but my wife (cis female) has.

She's tall, and I think folks seeing her in peripheral vision just think tall=male.

when I still identified as cis I was missgendered female on the phone all the time, even with companies who have my data in front of them and could clearly see that I was identifying as male

I was infrequently also missgendered in stores as female, as I have long luscious curly red hair

At one point in my life I (a cis het male) wore my hair in a ponytail that reached my belt. Despite the fact that I am nearly two meters tall and not at all a typical female shape, I was sometimes “ma’am”-ed from behind. One guy even grabbed my ass and then panicked when I turned around and he realized I was not female. Good times!

Third year in high school. I was having my baggy, nondescript clothing phase. Two girls from first year approached a classmate of mine asking if he could introduce them to me.
They thought I was a boy.

Same baggy, formless period: I walk into the ladies toilet at the train station, I get yelled at because I supposedly walked into the wrong one. I look at the yelling lady, confused, until she looks at me closely, extends a hand, gently squeezes one of my boobs. She laughed, I laughed.

Chiefly misgendered on the phone by idiot advertising or scammers. (Though the most recent wave of robocalls seems to not do that, by seemingly using gender neutral phrasing).

(I’m male, Tenor, misgendered as female on the phone).

Yes all the time, especially on the phone - I have a high voice for a bloke (think Paul Daniels & you wont be too far out! )

I swear the next person to call me Ma’am or Madame on the phone is going to hear some language that would make an old Liverpool docker blush!

yes, not many times, but it did happen, at least once on intent, because i have long hair (we were both teens, it was… some time ago).

My frame makes that quite hard to pull of these days 😆.

ah, and that doesn't really count but a coworker misgendered my name, writing Gabrielle, which is the feminine form in French, i did correct him the second time just so that wouldn't stick 😅 but total honest mistake as a non-French speaker. He was apologetic, that was funny.

It's been pointed out that you should have been your

Thank you for paying attention to this toot

I was a woman engineer with a gender-neutral name, in the 1980s &90s, so was misgendered frequently when not in person.

In person, I have long hair & big boobs, so only very rarely.

[EDIT: the following anecdote is really about gender discrimination while being quite correctly gendered; and may represent cis privilege butting its well-gendered head into a trans person's thread. I'm considering deleting it, please lmk if you think I should.]

Not quite a misgendering, but there was that time someone in the Plans Dept. was refusing to cough up some urgently needed plans in any reasonable length of time. Finally it came to-

THEM [looking at the paperwork for requesting the plans]: So who are you anyway? Are you Mr. Gorfram's secretary?

ME [in my loudest loud-without-yelling voice]: No. I'm. Mister. Gorfram.

I had my plans within ten minutes.

no and i'm a 175 cm tall kinda big woman. i think it's my meek nose, small hands and lack of prominent jaw bones.

BUT i've had a long haired very pretty guy being, uh, gay bashed for making out with me out in public once? it made no sense then or today but that's what happened. they just wanted to kick someone while screaming "faggot" i guess and noone else was around.

A couple times:

Once at the bus stop, a car drives past, and someone yells "are you a boy or a girl????"

Another time, I was told later that a friend's older brother drove past, and was like, "damn that chick's kinda hot--- oh God, that's Julian!"

Hair's long again, but I think the days of any confusion are long past.

@HollyGoDarkly For a dozen years or so, I had long hair, like mid-shoulder blade. Several times I was misgendered in public restrooms by someone seeing me from behind. The look on their face when I turned around was always amusing, given that I had a full beard that whole time.

Unrelatedly (afaik?) I frequently get “ma’am” on the phone with strangers.
