The closest scenario I can offer was when I was sent to a conference with several members of my office. When it came up, I had only come out to my immediate supervisor and our director. So, when it came to assigning roommates for the conference, they auto-assigned me a female roommate because no one else knew yet.
I felt super awkward about it because I wasn't ready to come out to my individual roommate without also telling the whole staff... and had worried that she'd be upset after the fact, when I did. (Thankfully, she was cool all around.)
So, it was that awkward time of being misgendered because too few knew. I haven't been asked to go to that conference since; I really wonder how the director would do room assignments now, since everyone knows now.
