I am very short, 5'4" (163 cm), and I have a very childish, high-pitched voice.
Many times during phone calls, people assume that they are talking to either a child or a woman.
When they assume I am a child, they ask if there is any parent at home.
When they assume I am a woman, they call me "miss" and use feminine pronouns towards me. A few years ago, when I was talking with the bank, I was mistaken for a woman, and when I later went to the bank, the woman I had spoken to was very surprised.
Some time ago, during winter, a woman wanted to ask me something. I was wearing a coat and standing behind it, so she didn't see my face. She called me "Miss" because she thought I was a woman due to my short stature.
