Yes. Hi. I'm just your normal female woman and I notice they've

    made a mistake on my driver's license ha-ha and put me down,

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

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.
