Even Greener Pastures

Today a woman came in to the store and was discussing flowers with my son.  She put off a final decision, saying she wanted to get her husband involved in deciding.  My son told her "Fine, have him come and see me".  The woman snarled that she would have HER see my son.  So the womans husband is a woman, which is fine but how the hell are we supposed to keep up with the individual pronoun choices?  Sometimes it seems people are looking for a reason to get angry.

Hysterical. Seriously, now, this is the first I've ever heard of a woman being referred to as a husband. It occurs to me, though, that the husband may have been an ordinary male husband at first, but is now transitioning to a woman. Otherwise, he would have been a wife all along.
