I know who I am I don't care if others don't get it. That is their problem, not mine.

I prefer to pass so there is not a hassle of me having to hear she.

or at work what have you and one person does the "Miss? Sir? Mam? Sir? Miss?"Once I just told the person "pick one and move on."

That happens to me at work a lot, less often now, but when it does I wish I could tell them that. Sure, calling me ma'am makes me uncomfortable but having a person who can't decide just makes it worse.

Yes, it matters to me whether I pass as my gender because I want to be treated as "one of the guys" because I am one and yes, also for safety.
