answer to the boy/girl question

Student is a BOY. Most of you were right, although I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought "girl." Unfortunately, I called him a "her" in front of the whole class. I was mortified! He was embarrassed, but seemed to take it in stride.

Oh no! At least he seems to have been a good sport. I used to get called a boy all the time. I guess because I'm really tall and tend to keep my hair short. I still get it from time to time. About a year ago, I went to a different pharmacy to get my BC filled. The pharmacist asked me if the script was for a man or woman. When I said it was for me, she asked me if I was a man. Ok, my boobs are small, but seriously? Apparently my name is a man's name in Albania, where she's from. Still none of her business. And a month ago, a senile man came into work, and asked what "this young man" was eating. I didn't respond. Then he tapped me on the shoulder and repeated what he said. I very loudly stated that I had a vagina and he left.

I called a boy a girl once. I was helping out with a young musicians competition. The name was ambiguous, and the child had long blonde hair, and played the harp. I didn't really look up when I directed them to the "little girls' room" When he said "I'm a boy" I was motified. He wasn't mad, and said he got it all the time.

i was called a boy a few times when i cut my hair in 6th grade. i was even quoted in a local newspaper and they wrote "he". i was mortified. i was going to guess boy. while it's certainly possible a girl can dress manly, i thought it was more likely that it was a boy with feminine features who maybe hasnt hit puberty yet. did you call him she before or after the poll? i guess you couldn't come up with a sentence that didn't use the pronoun? don't feel too bad - i am sure it got a laugh and they probably don't put much stock in what you say anyway since you are probably ancient to them.

Too true...

I was also mistaken for a boy when I was in middle school. I had a short bowl cut, and wore horrible glasses, and I looked like the kid from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Just about! Stick some ugly glasses on him, and he could be my twin.
