There is a new lady who is working on my aisle at work. She stopped by the entrance to my cubicle and commented about how long my hair was. I turned around to thank her, and she exclaimed, "You're a man!" She has long hair herself, probably down to her waist if it's pulled straight.
I just had to comment on your post. I am a female, but with my hair pulled back into a ponytail, and no make up I am sometimes mistaken for a male. Recently I was cashing a check in a grocery for a small purchase, and the clerk was callinmg me sir. When she ask for my drivers license, I cheerfully produced it for her. As she looked at it, she said mamm, I am sorry I called you sir. I couldn't help but chuckle, and walked away with a smile.
