How To Get Non-Existent Panties In A Twist
(I’m a FTM transgender, but have not begun transition, so although I’m frequently called “sir” in person based on my looks, my voice is a dead giveaway – especially at a call center job.)
Me: “Hello, I’m calling on behalf of [Company] regarding the power bill. May I speak with [Name]?”
Man: “Are you wearing any paaaaantieees?”
Me: “…Excuse me, sir?”
Man: “I like women who don’t wear paaaaaantieeees!”
Me: “Sir, I’m a man, and I’m calling to save you money on your power bill.”
Man: “No, you’re not! You’re a WOMAN and I like women who don’t wear PAAAAANTIEEEEES!”
Me: “So you’ve said, sir, but I’m a transgender man. Would you like to save money on your power bill or not?”
(At this apparently horrific revelation, the customer hangs up on ME, and I pause the dialer to do a victory dance at my desk.)
