Gender (sads????) talk 

I can't decide which is worse: People seeing my name tag at work (Evelyn) and saying he/sir since I'm not really able to present fully femme at work
OR: people seeing my name tag, ACKNOWLEDGING that it says Evelyn, and then spending a good minute or two asking "You're not REALLY Evelyn are you? Is that your name??? That CAN'T be your name, can it???????"
