Fun seeing my girl name in print

[Sherry Ann Evans]

I went out dressed recently with my wife, to see a theater show. I had purchased the tickets online under my drab name and didn't think anything of it. But we arrived at the theater and were unhappy with the lack of leg room, so we walked back to the box office and asked if we could upgrade to better seats. They said yes. Since I was dressed, I only had the "correct" credit card with me, in my femme name. Much to my surprise, when they printed our new tickets, they had that name on them! I had a stupid little grin when I showed them to my wife and then handed them to the usher, seeing "Sherry Evans" printed there. :)

Also I went to the restroom later, and there were signs on each door, I forget the exact wording but it was something very positive about "All guests may use the restroom that matches their gender" etc. ... That made me happy too.

Nice little validation there.

Yep! Maybe there should be an going "validation" thread in the forum, specifically for sharing our stories, no matter how small, of times when we passed well, had someone accept us, etc.

I would think with a Sherry credit card you'd see that name written on a lot of receipts and statements?:battingeyelashes:

I haven't had much chance to use it yet, and most of what I purchase is online. But it was mostly the surprise of it that got me feeling all giddy. :) When this kind of thing happens, it sort of feels like she is a real person, and THAT makes me so happy.

Sherry, THere's nothing better than affirmation. Good for you.

Nice to hear about your Sherry tickets, Sherry.

Made me think of when I get some packages and catalogs with Emily's name in the mail.
