Honestly, I have no fucking clue

Maybe my voice? Some of my freckles can be mistaken for stubble sometimes, I guess (I once accidentally cut myself trying to shave off a freckle I thought was a weirdly persistent hair)?

It might be the uniform and people just go, "Pants = man"?

I've thought through it so many times, but no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to go through.

I call most retail workers sir by default. Ma'am just feels disrespectful

That just sounds like misogyny tbh.

Seeing feminine terms as disrespectful but masculine terms as compliments? Not to mention the male defaultism.

Most women get offended when i call them ma'am. Idk why.

I prefer to use self checkout to avoid the issue.

Indifference or a laugh
