Today, I found out that my dad makes me wear dresses and skirts not because I look pretty in them, but because he was sick and tired of people asking him if I was a boy or a girl. FML

Isn't it a little bit harsh to tell OP that she doesn't act like a girl, whilst you absolutely don't know her? And now I wonder, what is 'acting like a girl' actually? Talking about your period? Wear stilleto's? Constantly giggling? What if OP likes to be a tomboy? Or what if she just looks manly? I think she has the right to complain, it's obvious that she never knew she looked unisex, and I guess it's not nice to discover.

Eh, if you're genuinely happy looking androgynous, I'd do my best to ignore the moronic types. Some people, through no fault of their own, will never have the ability to see past "skirt=girl and tie=boy" way of thinking. I look rather androgynous, and I'm regularly hit on by gay, straight, and bi people of both genders. People claiming you won't find a guy (assuming that's even what you're into) if you don't cake on the makeup have no idea what they're talking about. Anyways, as the ever-brilliant Doctor House pointed out, people like androgyny, even if they don't know it. Think of supermodels; wide shoulders, extremely tall, angular faces, surprisingly flat chests... and yet they're considered the most attractive women out there. Of course, if the androgyny comes as a surprise to you, and you're not happy about it, that's another story. But insisting on skirts and dresses is a rather heavy-handed way to enforce gender on someone... there do exist subtler and less extreme ways of looking distinctly feminine.
