Reality is in the Eye of the Beholder

I do have a tremendous curiosity and puzzlement about how a person can stand face to face with a female-looking/acting person and innocently and honestly think “he.” What is it that governs their perception of my gender? Do I behave in a mannish way? Do I look like a guy?



I have heard this same question from so many!  Janie relates visits with two close friends, one male and one female.  Both have accidentally mis-gendered her, even though she presented as female.  Force of habit?  This is the subject Janie discusses in, Reality is in the Eye of the Beholder.
