No. Wish I had been though. I've often had the fantasy of dressing up as a guy and taking a walk just to see if I could pull it off. But I've already come to the conclusion that I can't. My mannerisms are too feminine and I can't do a man's voice even if my life depended on it. At best, a passerby would assume that I am flamboyantly gay.

Early puberty I had a high voice. so on the phone I was called Miss or something along those lines
never been mistaken for a general girl but i was mistaken for a very manly girl in my college when i had emo hair.
Yes, it was quite hilarious.
I was out riding my bike in my small home town on the large road when an old hermity man comes from his house walks up to the road calling me a girl and offers me a flower.
I even think i had facial hair.

Back when I had long curly locks, I got some remarks from some guys down the street who were apparently quite interested in me. When I turned around, they said "Oh shit, you're a guy" and drove away.
Confusing, since the reason I had long hair was because I was a large hairy man, not one of those scrawny kids.

Not physically but by my voice. When I get real excited my voice gets super high pitched (think Chris Tucker) and I've had many a time where the RA would knock on our door thinking we had a girl in the dorm after hours.
Even when I had long hair, my Halo of Masculinity saved me from an awkward moment.
By Halo of Masculinity, I meant epic beard.

Feminine eyes, wide hips and long hair, so yeah, I get mistaken once in a while, or pretty much all the time on my motorcycle (helmet and bulky clothing hide any more masculine features.
In my late teens/early twenties I had blonde hair to just above my shoulders, and was at 'London' (a gay-bar in Oslo) with 2 girlfriends of mine and it was my turn to get the drinks. So I head over to the bar, and the girls had stolen all 4 of my pony-tail-strings (no clue what they're called in English 0.o - anyway yea, I never had less on me when going outside back then.. which is another story..) because they thought I was much cuter with my hair loose.
Well, right after I order the drinks I get tapped on the shoulder and it was a 50+ years old quite short woman with short-cropped, slightly greyish hair, and right behind her stood one of the broadest-shouldered women I've ever seen, also with short-cropped and slightly greyish hair. I was just wondering what they wanted when she said, "Excuse me, but are you a boy or a girl?"
Somehow, my synapses flared fast enough to get me to ask her, "That depends, are you straight or gay?"
She answered, "What if I'm straight?"
"Then I'm a girl." And I grabbed the drinks and went back to my friends. I told my friends what just happened and they gave me back one of the pony-tail-strings, and laughed their asses of.
Great story when told live, with feeling, in Norwegian
