Cis person in a pharmacy...
CP: Hi, can you tell me where the aspirin is? I need to get rid of this awful headache.
CLERK: Well, first I need to be sure that you actually have a headache and this isn't an attempt at gaining attention or confusion brought on by mental illness.

CP: What? Look, I just need an aspirin.
CLERK: Well when did you first feel that you preferred to be seen as someone with a headache?
CP: Sigh. I'm going to overlook the messed up wording of your question because I really want to know where the aspirin is. This morning.

CLERK: And how has the headache altered your sexual behavior?
CP: What? This is a really humiliating conversation to have! Um... I guess it's lowered my libido.
CLERK: I see. You don't 'look' as though you have a headache though. You look well... normal.
CP: Excuse me?!

CLERK: Society expects headache sufferers to look & act a certain way. Clutching their head and moaning in anguish. You look normal to me, and so I'm not sure aspirin would be best for you. This is likely a childish cry for help. Perhaps a candy bar would better suit you.

CP: Why do you keep calling it "normal" to not have a headache? You're making me feel like... well less than other people. Headaches are perfectly normal, they just need to be handled with care. There's no need for any of this.

CLERK: Well maybe if you walked around the store for a few days, looking like you were in pain. Then I could see that you really do have a headache.
CP: No no, that's not necessary. Look... oh my poor head. Look at me clutch at it. And now I'm even wearing sunglasses, see?

CLERK: Oh, see now that's better! Sunglasses block out painful light. Now you look like how I expect a person who prefers to be seen as a headache sufferer to look. Congratulations headache sufferer. I've decided that you do in fact, deserve aspirin. It's in aisle 3.

CP: Thank you.
PERSON: Aspirin?! That stuff destroys kids' lives! How many kids have you forced to take your harmful aspirin!
CP: Look, I just have a headache.
PERSON: Y'know the Bible never once mentions your perverted "headache"!
CP: (Clutches head) This hurts so much.

PERSON: Sigh. Look we get it. You have a headache. Congratulations on finding a way to define yourself in such a "woke" and "edgy" way. Y'know, my favorite author J.K. Joking, speaks out against people like you.

CP: Screw this. Maybe I should go stealth and just pretend that I don't have a headache. For my own safety.
ANOTHER PERSON: Hi, are you here for the aspirin?
CP: Aspirin? Me? Pfft. No! I'm a normal person, who's here for... um... cigarettes.
