Yeah, it does suck. I get the same benefits as you, and my wife of the same height gets ignored to the point where I have to go to Dr's appointments with her so they actually listen to her.
I also have to keep a close check on being upset about anything, because I'm intimidating just by existing, let alone upset.

I had to do this with my ex too ๐ we're both women but men listen to me. My ex is a combat veteran with ptsd, and it can make her seem unstable, even though she's incredibly sharp and there's no one I'd rather have with me in an emergency.
