Yep - got one
Because of my weight the plastic surgeon required I get an EKG before he would do my implants, which I did. It was borderline so my GP in turn sent me to a heart specialist. The nurse was interviewing me and proceeded to ask me if I had ever been pregnant and when I had last had my period. I don't know whose face was redder when I told her that I'd never had a period or baby because . . .

It was just before the beginning of my 24/7 and went into ULTA, a beauty supply store. I took my purchases to the register and paid with my credit card that had my male name. The clerk asked if the card was my husband's. I used that incident in my story, "For My Daughters."

So I was at work...
With a beard, etc, but out to my boss and a couple of close friends in the team. The boss makes a comment which can be summed up as "Typical bloody women!" and without thinking both me and my girl friend yelled "Oy!"
The look on his face as he tried to process that one was priceless; we two girls just fell about laughing.
That was an important moment for me, back then: being allowed to get annoyed on behalf of my own gender, and having that fact understood by others. Mind you, whenever I say "When I was a little girl" to him he still goes cross-eyed.
On a recent...
On a recent trip south, I stopped in a rest area in Tennessee... I was driving in drab, to avoid potential issues in this fairly conservative area...
I used the men's rest rooms - and took my stall as usual. After business was completed, I was out washing up... When a little boy (one of the only two other people in the room) asked his dad why a woman was in the boy's bathroom. His dad (I assume it was his parental unit anyway) said "probably because she really had to go and the line was too long in the girl's room."
Needless to say, I was surprised (It's VERY rare when I get recognized as a girl - when I don't go out of my way to look like one.). But, the event in question was quite a surprise - and the whole family got a good laugh when I shared it with them in the car...

OK. It was 2006 and I had just gone full time. I was in a Wally's Wonderful World buying groceries, as I did at that time on a bi-weekly basis. I was first in line to be checked out, and a couple of Frat boys and a couple of what I assumed to be Sorority girls lined up behind me with two cart loads of party food. One of the boys, kinda tall accentuated by reddish brown cowboy boots, short reddish blonde hair and a light dusting of freckles, red cheeks, and a round face that reminded me of Howdy Doody (or Ronald Reagan if you are too young to recall Howdy Doody). He looked at me, obviously read me, and decided to entertain the little girls with him. So he asked me:
"Hey, you ever been a man?"
I had learned about 10 years before that I was XXY and had been born with a hypospadia scrotal defect and surgically made a boy in two surgeries as a child), so with full confidence I returned his slight sneer of anticipation with the sweetest smile I could muster, and replied:
"Why no I haven't. Have you?"
The people in the lines adjacent to ours, his friends (especially the girls), and the checkout people on both sides started laughing - at him - and continued for a bit, his face turned redder, and he fled the store. His friends stayed and checked out, and the girls were very friendly and no other mention was made about appearance or gender. The check out clerk was friendly and told me she was glad I had put the child in his place. As long as she worked there, I tried to be sure I went to her counter for a brief chat while checking out.
While it was funny at the time, I have since sorta regretted coming down so hard on the obviously uneducated bumpkin. I probably gave the poor child a complex. Probably the only thing complex about him, but ........

Absolutely priceless! If it had been me, and I'd been sharp enough to come up with that response, I'd have been grinning all the way home. :) No remorse at giving him a complex. It's probably the government's (or maybe his parents) fault that he was uneducated, certainly not mine.

But You Answer Was Correct

Even if he thought what he did, and he felt you were acting improperly, if he had been a Gentleman, and not a childish clown he would have sttod silent and not make a spectale of himself. Your retort was fine, it might even have been better to have said, Once a upon a time I was a Man, but you never will be a Gentleman"

I Have A Funny One
They asked me "How long have you known Ann?
I replied: "Since we were kids". They then proceeded to ask me who I was? I replied: Jennifer Campbell.
They said "Oh, You must be married to one of the Campbell boys"
I looked at Ann's mother and she was doing everything she could to keep from laughing and losing badly at it. When we looked at each other, there was a silent message passed that said: Let's see how long it takes them to figure it out? We both decided not to say any more and let them think what they wanted. The penny dropped, so to speak, when someone called for me to "pose for pictures with your mom and sister" It finally dawned on them who I was, and they made excuses and left out of there as fast as they could. They happened to be a part of the "holier than thou crowd" in the leadership of the church. I can just imagine they burned the phone lines up all over town talking to their old biddy friends about the "scandal" of Ann inviting "one of those people" to her shower. Anyway, I had a lot of fun and actually won a prize playing "Bridal Bingo!
