I expected today that somewhere in the big hospital someone would have noticed the contradiction between my name and id code. I had to stop at two desks and show my health insurance card. But nothing happened, they acted completely normally with me.
It can be that they face so many different "cases" that I´m really not one of the worst. Even the nurse, who was with me in the surgeon´s room and heard me saying "I´m more eve than adam" was afterwards extra friendly to me and smiled to me in a very friendly way.

In my case it can be a) They don´t get the whole picture b) They understand what it´s all about, but are very tolerant.
I don´t know which one of these is true...actually I don´t much care. Probably the truth lies somewhere between these alternatives. They get "something", but since the patient seems to be a woman, they treat me as such.

That´s what I say, always.

But it's different here in the United States. I've been living
full-time since 1992 and the some of the problems I have have
still are jobs and some locker rooms with pools. The last time
that I tried to go swimming, the I was the only swimmer there
and to try to keep me out they asked me for ID. Mine has M on it
but I wasn't going to show it to her. I was afrais that she would call the police. Before that the principal of the school
asked me via a letter if I could dress somwhere else.
How do some of you girls get the F on your license even if you
are a pre-op?

And I have M even now when I´m post op.
