Dear society: you could just drop "sir" and "ma'am" and other gendered terms from your public service patter. Literally no one would know it wasn't there, and you'd save so much grief in the world.

"Thanks, have a good day!" has the same weight and impact as "Thanks, have a good day, sir!" No one would know. You could make this change right now, and save the sanity of so many people, trans and cis alike.

How would you call an unfamiliar person to attract their attention in a street then? For instance, a person lost their wallet, you saw it and you want them to look back. No irony, no offend intended, really interested.

@menelion "Excuse me!" "Hey, you!" "You dropped something!" or in that instance, "Is that your wallet?"
