In 7th grade I was left off the nomination list for Homecoming Court because the school's office thought I was a male.
Tramatic.
Thank you 'unnamed charitable organization' for these free return address stickers. Thank you for reminding me how it felt to be a 13 year old, awkward girl who was easily confused as a boy.
Thank you Mom and Dad for giving me the most gender neutral name ever.
Now please excuse me. I need to have a good cry.
That happens to Courtney some, too. We had to sign an attendance sheet on the school bus, and there was a boy named Courtney, so she would get her name scratched off and moved to the boy's column. For a first grader, that was the end of the world.

The first Birth Certificate mailed to me after your birth listed you as a male ---oops, I had it quickly fixed.
