I had paid and was walking out with my two bags when I passed a woman, well shall I say dressed kind of "Who cares . All I could muster was "uh..thank you? I guess?" But it hurt. Now the hurt is anger but it hurt. I wasn't going for hilarious. The woman evidently assumed that once again TG's are clowns. That we go out to make people laugh. I didn't insult how she was dressed (would have been easy though).
I dont think many of us can pass 100 % of the time. If we are lucky we can create enough doubt that people will not be rude.

You will always get a few rude ones

Saying thank you may not have been the response you would like to have given but I bet it annoyed her as she would not be expecting you to say that.

It just proves you have more class that to argue with her
