I have a DL with an F, a birth cert in my female name but an M not an F and an unquestionably female face, presence and demeanor, I bring my documents up to the window, where this middle-eastern, probably Muslim guy, helps me, he looks at my documents and asks why I am going to Thailand, ma'am, (calling me ma'am, ma'am, ma'am right from the intro) I told him for surgery, he says, I see bit there is a problem and he points to the F on DL and the M on my birth cert...anyway, he says I can bring a surgery letter in later so I can travel with an F on my passport, he didn't say this directly because he seemed uncomfortable with discussing it but I understood that's what he was getting at, so he gives me a number and tells me to wait then when I leave he says real Loud "Thank you sir...oh, excuse me, ma'am" like he said it on purpose just to insult me, I was hurt and humiliated so bad---I have never had this happen to me since FFS, I burst into tears and walked off, some women said "Don;t pay attention to him, he is a real jerk, I know I am here everyday"
Anyway, I wait all day, come to find out I need the surgeon's letter before they process my application! So the jerk not only insulted me, he wasted my whole day, I had planned on going to the gym, working on my music and going to this way cool woman's AA meeting in Noe Valley, instead, I have just been surfing the net in between bouts of crying and feeling abused
...and even worse, I didn't workout and, instead, went on a mini card binge, at least< I binged out on low fat barley bread from Trader Joe's but I ate the whole loaf!
