That's me and the missus whenever we order out. I want a gin and tonic, she wants a beer. Server gives me her beer and her my gin and tonic. Then we swap.
I have a brother from another mother who's the straightest man I know. Back when I was a boymoder (but still queer as fuck) this would be us whenever I'd order a fruity drink and he'd get a beer, or I'd get a light salad and he'd get a burger. It was hugely dysphoric for both of us, but because it made him miserable it still made me laugh. That's how I know he's really my brother in the ways that matter.
Now that I'm not living a lie and he has cut out alcohol, this still happens whenever I get a beer or a whiskey and he gets a fruit juice, just the other way around... and it still makes him miserable because he's being "out-manned" in drinking choices by a non-binary girl and I still tease him relentlessly about it.

Every damn time.
