My one good story is from when I got one of my first shifts on the floor. I had a gender neutral customer. I just went about my regular business, trying to give as good of service as possible. Like you I hoped to solve this confusion at the end of the meal when the bill came out. Not so, he/she paid in cash...and to top it off left his/her number. I did however get a name (can't remember what it was), yup a gender neutral name. Needless to say, that number went into the trash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-10888292410451346792011-02-08T13:28:17.411-05:002011-02-08T13:28:17.411-05:00yes, you tread a very fine line with wit.

They were proud of their choices (First the choice to cross dress, then the choice to have preliminary treatment in preparation for gender reassignment and ultimately for their choice to undergo full reassignment) and had no hesitation wearing gender identifiable clothing and providing other clues for people. This was because they had support for their choices and could be confident in them. They were eager for others the feel comfortable with them in their new identities so they made them obvious. It sounds to me like Bitchy met someone who was less confident about their identity and at a point of just "trying it on for size". Just being at the table in amibiguous may have been an act of supreme courage for this particular individual. <br /><br />Even so, we all live in a culture that expects people to be clear in their gender assignation. To be inspecific is to invite curiosity, inquiry, confusion, and social awkwardness. All of the compassion in the world won't eliminate that for someone who refuses to assist those around her/him with the obvious question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-55059490750587905252011-02-07T17:21:33.037-05:002011-02-07T17:21:33.037-05:00I'm sorry Biki.

Sometimes I see jeans, short hair and a sweatshirt from behind and make a comment, assuming I am looking at a boy. Nope. And the class roars. It makes me feel really bad for the cute little girl with little stud earrings, lipstick, and breasts. Or, I see a person from the front--long hair, little boobs, sweetest face you ever saw, petite, AND it's a guy. I really have to tap dance out of these situations without wounding a child for life. Most are so insecure. I doubt any of the ones I make mistakes with are gay. Yet, there are others of which I am very sure.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-30149758622273292612011-02-07T17:04:48.265-05:002011-02-07T17:04:48.265-05:00We have something similar at my restaurant.

We are humans, and just because we make you uncomfortable is no reason at all for you to call someone "it".

Invariably their names were always Chris, Jaime or Jordan. Seriously?! <br /><br />The other day in Michael's craft store I hit upon this problem. The cashier was a balding.... er.. man with DD+ boobs held in an excellent bra, appropriately lifted and separated as good bosoms were. Their jaw and adams apple said man, their voice said woman and their nametag said Jaime. aaaaaah! I was tempted to just ask particularly since they made eye contact with like I understood who/what they were.
