Did you change your gender marker with your insurance?

I did not change mine for insurance reasons. I'm about to though. When I was about to get my hysto done I ran into a little problem. When I signed up for my health insurance I checked female for gender but someone at their office decided I was mistaken because my legal name is male, so that person changed my gender on my insurance to male. Needless to say, my initial requests for the hysto through insurance were denied. Once I figured out the problem I had it corrected and then they allowed my hysto.

Now that I have had that done (in 2010) I can change my gender marker. I completely forgot I hadn't changed it until my doctor mentioned it at my checkup a week ago. She wrote me the letter I needed and now I just need to actually go change it.
