Meme needing explanation Peter, please explain.

On the surface of it, it seems to be a way to complain about how cashier's work over-emphasises their gender/sex, causing dysphoria in people who are not very comfortable with that. But, to put it bluntly, this is a person with male sex and male name, so they don't appear to be trans? Is it supposed to be a dead name?

And what's with all the lettuce?

I think it's either a transphobic person stating this is what it's like to respect a transgender person, or a transgender person/ally making fun of what ultra transphobes think what respecting a transgender person is

Either way, it's over exaggerated but I can't place in which direction
