001) Kids say the darndest things

Ok, for the following to make any sense, a little background... I have gynaecomastia, it's not all that severe really, my breasts are only A-cup. I also have a lot of body hair, even for a guy, and my beard grows back in so fast I don't really bother shaving it, just sorta keep it trimmed. I just recently used some hair removal cream on my body hair, so it's still pretty short though...

So I was taking a short break in the shade by the swings on property at the apartment complex I work at when a couple of kids come up to play on the swings. When they get there, the little girl asks "Are you ok ma'am?" Now, I wasn't going to bother correcting her, and just sort of grunt "Yeah" as I'm walking away to get back to work. As I'm walking away, I hear her brother say, "That's not a girl, that's a man."

Technically, the boy is correct, I do have a little something dangling between my legs. I don't really pay all that much attention to gender though... to me, it's unimportant, I really don't give a care if what I do is considered feminine, or masculine. And since I'm asexual...

I find it interesting though, that for the little girl, she noticed my small breasts and immediately assumed I was a woman, but for the little boy, he saw my hair and immediately took me for a man.

Darn kids...

Hmm, small sample size, but you may be on to something...

then again...

It could have been just a completely random coincidence...

Nah, I don't believe in those.
