I don't quite deal with this, but being called 'Miss' or 'Missy' on the phone, because people hear my high soft voice and assume I am barely old enough for a job..

and it's probably not TOO weird to ask to be called ser instead of ma'am even if you may have to explain the meaning

Mon, Jul 18, 2016 5:24 PM
cuz it doesn't necessarily out you as anything to ask for gender-neutral terms
