DMV now offering $38 sex change

Today, I went to the New York DMV to get my license. All went smoothly. They printed off a temporary license for me, and I was on my way uptown to meet a friend for lunch when I decided to inspect my temporary license on the train (i was looking for ways to avoid eye contact with others, and i was tired of looking at the dirty floor and reading the signs about weightloss and foot care).

Lo and behold: "Name: My Name. Eyes: Blue. Hght: 5'1. Sex: Male."

Hmmm. Apparently, they knew something I didn't know--I didn't have two XX's as I'd been led to believe by my parents!

I really wanted to keep it and get the real license sent to me with "male" on it and then i could register for the selective service, get a membership at Augusta, etc, but my Dad convinced me to do otherwise, (damn sept. 11th anality of gov't officials) so I went back after lunch (after 3 margaritas at lunch!) and got it changed. The people at the DMV thought it was very, very funny.

I thought I'd share.
ps--for all the talk about crabby and rude new yorkers, i must say that the people at the battery park-ish (11 Greenwich St) dmv were very pleasant and efficient. i was impressed. they were much nicer than they are in michigan. however, the clientele was pretty crabby and rude--not me, though. nope. i was the picture of calmness, patience, and understanding. haha.
