Hello? Hello?

County Records? Yes. I'm just your average woman here in the
county, and yesterday, just looking through some old papers,
I noticed a couple errors on my birth certificate and I was
just kind of wondering, you know, woman-to-woman here, how I
could get them corrected... Uh huh... submit a doctor's
statement contemporaneous with my birth from the attending
physician or else a notarized statement from my current
personal physician and a second notarized statement from a
physician here in the county of origin. Thank you.

Hello? Hello?

Yes. Doctor? Yes, well we were cut off. As I was saying, I'm
trying to change my driver's license so I can get a job but
they want my birth certificate and that's still male so I
have to get that changed and to do that I'll need a
statement from you that... No, I can't take time off from
work to come in to see you... Well, first I can't because I
have no job to take time from and second because I can't
afford another $150 visit... No, I'm not trying to be
difficult... Yes, I know surgeons are very busy and they
save lives and all but... Look if you could please just see
your way clear to...

Hello? Hello?

Doctor? Doctor Crotchkiss? Yes. I'm sorry I got angry, Doctor.
Look, is there anyway you could sign a statement that I'm
female so I can get my paperwork done and get a job?... Well
I know you can't be certain yet but how many men want to
take estrogen and grow bosoms?...Oh, really? Well I had no
idea... Yes, I know I still sleep with women and that's not
very normal for a transexual... No, I haven't looked very
feminine when I come for my appointments... Well, have you
ever tried walking around the city in a push-up bra,
pantyhose, 3-inch heels, and... Oh, really? Well I had no
idea... Well then you know what I... No, I wasn't aware you
wear women's panties under your smock when you operate, but
I can certainly sympathize with... What? You want me to see
what?... Who?... Is there anyway we could avoid this...
Okay. Okay. Yes. I'm sure you're looking out for my
interests. Goodbye.

properly dressed. Speaking of which, did you know that Dr.
Crotchkiss... No, nevermind, just thinking out loud... Yes,
I know thinking out loud could be a sign of... Well, of
course I sound a little agitated and defensive, Doctor. Now
let me ask you a question; do you have any idea at all how
frustrating it can be going through all this stuff and
getting a sex change operation and... Oh really? Well I had
no idea... Yes... Yes... Okay, I'll see you Thursday.
