A few times, from a couple of factors... My voice is a bit deep for a girl, and I generally wear guy's clothes, so if I have my hoodie up or something I might be mistaken. My hair is insanely long though.
Poll: Have you ever been mistaken for the opposite gender?

I have, quite happily, never been mistaken for male. When I was younger, I had uber-long hair (past the small of my back), so that prevented that mistake. And now that I'm older, I've got a decent hourglass figure and a fondness for skirts and short dresses- so despite the pixie cut, it's pretty damn hard to think I'm a guy.
I've been mistaken for a girl a few times from behind, apparently by guys with a thing for girls built like rugby forwards. It's the long hair that does it, I think.
The sad thing is: I went to a gender-bender ball where everyone was supposed to costume as the opposite sex.
My friends did a great job, and said I could even be passable. (Not pretty, but still passable)
And no one bought it.

An old woman mistook me for a boy when I was around 10 years old. I had my hair tied back quite tightly, and was swimming in a pool. The woman held her granddaughter back as she was about to swim across the pool, saying she should "let this little boy pass first". Fair enough, but I was wearing a flowery swimming costume.
which time do you want? there was the time I had a buzz cut and was called a guy constantly...
though i was a fairly cute guy.....
I would be the one in the blue shirt without the hat. Twas at an old job of mine and this was well after it started growing back
the above photo i got called a guy earlier that day by someone who heard my very feminine voice....
And there is always the classic throw my hair up into a hat and put on a baggy tshirt and jeans and sunglasses and i transform into a guy.....
I would like to point out however that I am very much a female

I was in the hospital as a first time Crohn's surgery patient (they had to remove my entire large intestine). During the surgery they had to pump me full of water so my entire lower body was swollen including my hips. A nurse called me "ma'am" because of the swollen hips. Sigh...
Yes, but to be fair, I was wearing a dress and the man was drunk, and I can be rather... convincing, as a girl.
Yeah, but the kid had autism so i let it slide.
That or some other form of mental health problem.
But i don't hold grudges.
Well i do.
Quite a lot.
in fact i'm beginning to hate you for bringing this up...

When I was younger I had extremely long hair, so I was mistaken as a girl from the back lots of times. This happened especially at restaurants when the hostess didn't get a good look at me.
Surprisingly, it happened again two days ago even though I keep my hair short and don't look even remotely feminine.

i've been referred to as "that lady" by little kids twice, despite being 18 and male, also an old man once called me "dear" i should probably take this as a hint and het my hair cut... but i won't
I've got long bloond hair (as a male, frankly), so it happends quite often mostly with older people, who aren't used to long haired men. ^^ I never got flirted on by a male, though, it's not that bad.
Though, when I was in the US a few years ago, a (in the end really nice) old lady just wouldn't let me go into the men's room. It took me five minutes of explaining and an intervention from her nurse to get to pee.
