I was at the NYC public library last weekend visiting a gg friend and as we were leaving the woman working security called us ladies and asked to check our bags on the way out.  This has happened several times before but usually there is some back pedaling when they take a closer look, but not this time. 

I did spend the next day presenting female and we got called "ladies" several times.   I find that it is way more common to use gender specific articles like ma'am in the US (I got ma'amed 4 times when I went to Florida last Christmas when presenting male) than here in Canada, at least when speaking English, French is a different story.

Jenna!

I think I would be in a state of shock if I wasn't called madam. What is your revealing problem if they take a closer look?

The fact I was presenting male at the time.  I thought that was the point of this thread??

I didn't realise that the point of this thread 'getting ma'amed Without Getting Glammed' was that you dressed up as a guy?

That's great Jenna   

I get taken aback a bit when I get Ma'amed or Ladied while presenting male (or what I think to be male...LOL)

At any rate, it always feels good
