I went to join AAA which I like to join if I have a long car trip coming up (I've belonged a few times before). I am getting read as male about 99% of the time. I go in and introduce myself. All is going typically until he looks at the computer and sees my birth name. He says "Are you related to ________" I said yes. No elaboration. But of course, I love to elaborate. :) I said "My mother liked J names". :) So he tells me a story from his family re: some parent that used all R names.
I don't know why I do this. :)
