Ehhh I guess it depends. I've been mistaken for a young boy at many times before, because I have a slight build, short hair, and androgynous face. (And I walk like I'm going to cut someone.) None of these times was I actively trying to appear boyish, and was in fact wearing female-cut gender neutral clothes, like jeans and a fleece.

I have a very mixed reaction to this. On one hand I'm happy because I recognize that the male gender gets treated more "seriously", and if that's one factor that subconsciously leads people to give me more respect, then I'm willing to play by society's fucked up rules to do it.

On the other hand, since I'm a girl and have been raised as a girl, I still have that knee jerk response of shame and worry, because I'm doing my gender "wrong" and that means I'm strange and not as valuable as a woman doing her gender "right".

So yeah. :/
