Do I Look Like a GURL?

(or poss."who's askin'?", liverbirds stylee)

Wait: is it somehow more acceptable in the UK to ask this sort of question? You would never hear this stateside.

Mark: Clever answer = Why, what are you?

Pete, I know I look girly, but could you actually think I was an actual girl?

I have had plenty of "bird or bloke?" incidents myself (optionally suffixed with the assertion that I must be female because someone who mings this much isn't worthy of a dick) and I remain sceptical that it doesn't happen in the US. While I can't remember if anyone actually asked me if I was male or female when I was out there, I certainly had people assuming I was either male or ten years old or both pretty much every day, and I don't recall anyone apologising for the misunderstanding, either, which I found at least as upsetting - at least in the short-term - and far more of an incentive to grow my hair and try to stop it happening than the fact that every so often in this little UK town somebody who almost certainly knew that I was female would deliberately try to wind me up by pretending in a loud voice in front of all their mates that they couldn't tell. (I only had one similar incident during my time living in a city; you'd think that what with all the inbreeding round here they'd be *more* tolerant of weirdness, har har...)

Sometimes I reflect on the way people seemed so bemused by my appearance in the US and the fact that every American "woman in rock" I've ever respected and imagined might dress at least slightly punkishly or tomboyishly has turned out to have '50s-style longish hair and wear pretty dresses in every picture I can find of them, and I wonder... well... lots of confused and probably inaccurate things which I've just snipped for fear of embarrassing myself further. Right now, I'm fairly sure I'm just seeing sexism where really it's just other factors which are inevitable and apply equally to men, but this train of thought pops up every few months and I never quite convince myself either way or manage to articulate it very well...

Ed, please. The people need to judge.

Call yourself Man Graham and Bob's yer uncle.

Look people, I do NOT have BREASTS

(Maybe I should just call myself Bob (and encourage my brothers to reproduce))

graham is the one on the right

Also, Me far left.

I think I shall follow Nick (and Maria)'s advice and use it to my advantage (although I'd much rather be mistaken a ROCKSTAR).

Looking like a girl + Empty condom packet = World Domination?

The other one had the gall to have an androgenous name too. After about a year I was *fairly* sure he was a guy, bu it wasn't until a year later when I saw him coming out of the men's loos I really knew.

On the other hand, who cares?
