Hair seems to carry more weight than other visual cues. I have a son with long hair and a daughter with short hair, and people constantly address my son as a girl and my daughter as a boy. It doesn't matter how they are dressed or how we are addressing them.

    Yeah! I don't know what's up with that

    I try to ignore physical features that people can't control. Things like skin color and glass eyes. But not words on their T-shirt or bumper stickers on their car. With wig technology what it is today, hair is a borderline case. So, of all of the gender-coded features, I feel like hair is not the most problematic. Maybe that's why people are like that?
