Misgendered, again.

What's a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.. I don't think Bill Shakespeare was thinking about Transgender People when he wrote that line for Juliet. As a masculine presenting transgender woman, I get called "Sir" all the time, especially when I travel (something I've been doing a lot of lately). Fortunately, for me, I don't get dysphoria from being called Sir or He/Him. But I do get a hit of Euphoria when I am refered to as Ma'am or She/Her. I have gone to great lengths to indicate my preference. I have worn many pronoun pins, I have two sets of earrings with my pronouns, I have it tattooed on my arm: >

What does irk me is I bother to correct someone and they persist on calling me Sir or he/him. I generally don't correct people who I will only encounter once: staff at restaurants, airline desk agents (although they persist in this behavior despite my reservation being under Ms Erica Wolf and my passport, which is in their hand, saying "Sex: F".) I have started to take advantage of being misgendered because I get slightly better service as "Sir" than I would as "Ma'am" (I see this when I compare the service I get when I am surrounded by cis-female customers.)
