Um, yes, that sounds familiar. I wore my hair short for a couple of years, and I can count on my fingers the times I was not adressed to as "boy" by elderly ladies. Even wearing skirts (short!) didn't help. My usual reply was "how long does my braid have to be to have my gender recognized?"
I knew a lady in college that when showing her pictures of herself and her friends to a guy she knew, he pointed to her with her short haircut and asked that question.When I met her she had long hair. I don't think she'll ever have short hair again.It happens.

While Titanic was in the theatures my friend and I both went to see it 3 times together. The 3rd time we both cried so hard my friends nose blead. So we had to go to the ladiesroom. While my friend was fixing her problem, an elderly lady walked in and took one look at me and my short boy-like haircut and said "Am I in the right washroom?" She thought I was a boy! I was so embarassed and insulted! I was wearing normal relaxed female clothing! I think that lady should get her eyes checked!
