    I think I know what I am.

    A new customer just tried to argue with me on the phone that I was not me.

    SC: You're not the right person! Why are you answering her phone?!
    T: I assume you that I am Taboo.
    SC: No, Taboo is a woman! It says so on her site.
    T: .... Ma'am, I AM a woman.
    SC: No you're not! You sound like a man!
    T: Ma'am, I'm pretty sure I know what's in my pants by now.

    She sputtered at me for a while...

    I've been trying to deal with customers mostly through email lately because I'm just not in the mood to put up with people's BS right now, and um, I'm not so polite.

    I get this all the time as I have a really low voice for a woman (contralto) despite having a very common female name that could never be confused with a male name.

      See, the funny part here is that I actually have an average pitched voice for a woman so I have no idea where she got that idea.

        maybe she's tone deaf? who knows; i'm about average toned for a woman, yet i was mistaken for my son (before the manly voice struck him) more times than i can count.

        i'm blaming it on hearing deficiencies.

            Well done for not giving in to her crap and telling her that you know what's in your pants

              Wow, what a freak. Trying to argue with you about your gender. Some people are unreal.

                    Oddly enough, I have had more than one person think I was a woman on the phone, though I do not have a high-pitched voice. The only thing I can think of is that my voice has some weird quality that makes telephone receivers filter out most of the bass...

                    As the the original post, I agree, it was rather foolish of the caller to question what gender Taboo is after she had told the caller what it was.
