I had to visit London today for a meeting (in my male identity). To get to the company I was visiting I had to report to reception to get a visitors pass (which I guess is pretty normal these days) the security guard asked for my name I replied "Rob ........" he went through the his visitors passes pulled one out and said "Jane ......." - there were two with the same surname scheduled to attend the same meeting and he thought I was Jane - OK I've let my hair grow long and I was clean shaven but I rarely pass as a "Jane" even with make-up! Guess I should have said - no Deborah, actually, but I just said OK so I've got long hair but ...

And my boss was with me!

That is not a high paid job, Probably just a stupid mistake not based on any subliminal perceptions. I bet it was fun though. If my boss was not with me I would have played dumb and gone with it until the other person showed up.

sounds like the beginning of an interesting story. Here's what you should do, just use your imagination and finish the story the way you would like.

Maybe you had better change your name to Jane.

You will pass with ease!!
