I cannot make this up

UPDATE: I am now classified as a male correctly. Fairly simple process yet still a pain having to wait 20 minutes in the SSA office. Birth certificate and driver's license did the trick as many suggested. Fortunately no body parts had to be shown as many also suggested.

I applied for social security retirement a few weeks back. Got a call from social security resource that said they had questions.

First revolved around my attestation that my earnings history was correct. Had to do with moving in 1992 and getting two w2s. Nice lady was happy with my response. On to issue 2.

Apparently I had checked a box wrong and she thought I was still working. I explained, on to issue 3.

Apparently when I signed up for a social security card it was issued to a male. Side note I am a man, have always been one, and enjoy my pronoun as it is. I must have needed a new card in 1987 and submitted an application for the card to be issued. The application indicated male. Someone typed in female apparently. The nice lady on the phone said I needed to prove I am/was genetically male and explained it had to be a typo because apparently she can see the application I filled out on 1987?

I offered a picture. She declined. A DNA test. She chuckled. I asked why I needed to do ANYTHING to fix their clerical mistake.

But...I have an appointment on 1/6 at my local office to prove I am a man. I am not sure if there are any searches for scars, OEM equipment exams or a DNA test but I will be prepared.
