I've never been "sir"! I think when I'm read as male, due to my height, narrow build and smooth face I'm also being read as younger than I am, and boys of 14 don't get called sir. Possibly people who read me as female are also estimating my age more accurately... although I can recall being "ma'am" only to Maori men. I speculate on various factors there.

Those photos are lovely! Some look like butch women and some I would never guess weren't elderly men, and the fourth one down is exactly the sort of ageless leprechaun I was thinking about when I posted.

Glarmaco! Of course. I'll take my camera when I go out today.
