My wife and I run a small part time janitorial service. I buy all of our supplies from two suppliers. One of the businesses has a woman in her 50s doing counter sales. Now I don't go there en-fem but my hair is quite feminine and sometimes I wear earrings and lip gloss. I always wear jeans, plain shoes, with a colored T-shirt. And I carry a string purse everywhere I go. I have visited with this lady a lot but she never mentioned my gender.
Two days ago I went in to pick up some can liners that I ordered the week before. The lady couldn't find the liners so the other man working there asked her what the problem was. She said," she ordered can liners last week and now when she came to get them, they are gone." I had no idea that she thought that I was a woman! When she apologized because someone had sold my ordered items, I told her that it was alright; I would check back next week. Then I walked out of the store with a smile on my face. For you see, she hadn't misgendered me at all. Leanne
