I do agree and I do appreciate someone making an attempt to be a part of the solution rather than a part of the problem but it feels like it's like 'see how open minded and awesome I am?' instead of considering the dress, style and mannerisms of the person before you. I know it's hard to decipher gender presentation and that the wrapping, in many cases, does not determine what's in the box but how hard would it be to just cut that one word off? They could still acknowledge us by just saying 'how may I help you?" or 'do you have any further questions?' and leave it at that.
