Gentlemen: If you have a soft, very youthful face and a lot of curly hair but _no_ facial hair or sideburns, and you insist on wearing loose-fitting clothes AND pink nail polish, you really shouldn't get upset if the geezer at the reception desk calls you 'Miss'.
Ladies: Similarly, if you have a tall, angular face and figure, wear no makeup and your hair short, as well as affect very boyish clothing, you shouldn't be quite so annoyed if the geezer at the reception desk, who has been talking to his sergeant and has 'Sir' on the brain, calls _you_ 'sir' as well.
Let's try to meet each other halfway, okay folks?
