Passing and Gender Queues

So yesterday I met my partner in the city for lunch, as she took the afternoon off. Since I have electrolysis later in the week (hopefully getting close to down *crosses fingers*), I hadn't shaved that day. So, I was also dressed in fairly androgynous-to-masculine clothing (men's jeans, t-shirt, the like). Even so, I got read as a girl. Maybe long hair cancels out subtle facial hair. Maybe it wasn't as obvious as I thought that I hadn't shaved. Either way, it amused me.
