Microsoft executive Megan Wallent, née Michael Wallent, has been keeping track of the number of times she's been called "Sir." It doesn't bother Wallent particularly. Even Tilda Swinton, the androgynous star of Orlando, gets addressed with the male honorific, she notes in the following video clip.


You may note one reason why Wallent gets the "Sir" treatment: She's chosen not to get surgery on her vocal cords to raise the pitch of her voice.
