There was a time that i was also frequently mistaken as a girl from afar. Yes, mahaba buhok ko noon at ilang beses na akong na-"ma'am" pag lumalabas ng bahay. Bus conductors, cashiers, taxi drivers and tinderas all mistook me for a girl at times when i had a ponytail or my hair was unbound. It got freaking annoying when a guard at MoA admonished me for walking through the front doors at the men's line.
Guard (looking at me) - Miss, meron po tayong pila para sa mga babae. Dun po kayo sa kabila.
Me (taas ang isang kilay) - Ano ka'mo?
Guard (waves me through) - ...
It was after that point that i started maintaining a goatee whenever my hair grew past my shoulders. Pero ala pa rin. Kahit ngayon na lampas lang tenga yung buhok ko, may mga beses pa rin na napapagkalamalan akong babae. Napapasampal-mukha na lang ako pag ganun, pare.
