If “malefail” is being called ma’am by a cashier or having a stranger refer to me as a woman to someone else or something, then yeah, occasionally. Not often though.
Had an old man on the tram call me “strong young woman” and ask me to carry him up the stairs a few months ago, that was kinda awkward and people stared
like once or twice a month maybe. sometimes there’s months where it doesn’t happen, and sometimes it happens twice in a day. it’s pretty random and somehow doesn’t depend at all on what I’m wearing, if I’ve even shaved or done my hair or whatever.

It happened a few more times than that iirc

I think this might be because people here just rarely gender at all, i‘ve had months where i wasn’t called either one.
That’s what I’ve been saying. It’s hard to gauge how people gender you in their head unless they talk about you in third person
