The irony, in my mom's old age, and her short hair, people would constantly mistake her for a man.
ONE TIME though, that mistake almost got her assaulted at a Walmart.
My Mom is not one to back down. But when this happened she was in a electric scooter and got ahead of herself and didn't see a guy, and hit his leg. Of course that hurt him. She initially apologized, but the guy was young, skinhead, tatoos, and while his initial "HEY" was understandable, when she said "I am sorry" and he raised his voice to her, my mom's pride kicked in and she basically said, "I didn't hurt you get over it".
OH MY GOD, if it were not for my quick words stepping between him, profusely apologizing, and telling my mom at the same time "Let it go". I am very sure he would have took a swing at her, even her being in that chair.
His girlfriend also backed him up and I can tell you, both of them wanted a fight.
My mom didn't mean to bump into him, but even with some people, it does not matter. But, even prior to that, I can tell you because of her deep voice and short hair, she got confused for being a man.

Thats what you get by allowing your children to witness you being interviewed by men in kilts.
