Oh Mindy, I feel for you. Yes this has happened to me as well a few times! All I can say is that you have to try and look back on it and find the funny side, but yeah, on some days it can really do some damage to your self esteem.
I actually never have been game to cut my hair shorter than a shoulder-length bob for that exact reason. I remember once walking around with a (male) friend of mine on the street, and a car driving past and someone yelled out the window "Fags!".
The worst one I can remember was in high school when a friend of mine (she dressed a bit like a tomboy), was walking past the school assembly, and the presenting teacher at the time said something like "this gentleman here..." not realizing she was a girl
Keep in mind this was in front of the whole school as well...
