I have a girls name and my last name is a very popular Asian female name too.

My entire life I get misgendered on phone, email, chat. It’s not a big deal. Hell, it can be an advantage - I’ve gotten more than one job interview because they expect a woman.

Well, that's one way to look at it.

Time to be tran- oh wait, it's illegal to be transgender in my country. This is why I hate being Moroccan.
