Once, while waiting to cross the street at a stop light, some elderly woman told me "You know, earrings are for women! You shouldn't wear any." I had my hoop earrings that I almost always wear in male mode.
I turned to look at her and noticed she wasn't wearing any earrings. So I replied, "You know, you should be more lady-like and wear earrings. And spend some time on your hair, you look like a man that needs a haircut."
All I got back was a blank stare.
