"that's a strange name for a woman"

so yeah, I got told that by a customer today. My responce was witty enough ("yeah it would be if I was a woman") but I got a snarky responce back and I know I said it weakly.

I have this huge contrast between my colleagues who greet me as my new name and are generally mostly awesome and customers. Or to be fair, roughly one customer a day. But it still sucks.

I've come to the decision that so many people are just basically clueless and rude. But that doesn't make it easier. My skin's not that thin, just that it touches a raw nerve because I know that the comments are temporary and that there is a way out. Next clinic appointment next week.
