Title: Well this was self affirming and kind of funny too
Post by: Deborah on January 25, 2016, 09:50:49 AM
So, this morning I was coming through the security checkpoint to work and found I didn't have my usual ID with me.  So I had to use my older military ID.  This one has a very nice picture but it's with a military style haircut and a short but full darkish beard.  It kind of makes me look like a U Boat crewman from a WWII movie. 

So I handed it over.  The guard looked at it, then looked at me, then said thank you ma'am and waved me through.  I was even wearing a tie LOL.  I'm not quite sure what to think about it.  :-)

I'm not sure what his intention was, but it is always nice to be seen as your gender, so congratulations!  :)
