Reply To: You’ve been misgendered, so how do you respond?

[Kris Burton]

To me, this sounds like an insensitive remark coming from the mouth of a very naive person.  If there were even the slightest question or he picked up on a “tell” of some sort  a more sensitive, worldly SA would have simply said “May I help you?” without getting into the gender identity question at all. If this person was deliberately trying to get under your skin it probably would have happened a second time – and might be something to call to the attention of management if you were made to feel uncomfortable.

I will try to remember the words I am writing  now when – not if – it happens to me.
