I did not intend to gender-confound a pollworker, but such is life sometimes.

Pollworker: Thank you, good sir!
Me: [nods amiably]
Pollworker, doubletake: Or, uh, good lady.
Me, channeling as much South Shore heritage as I can muster: Whatevah!
Pollworker: ... you were wearing a mask is all and .... Would you like a sticker?!

I'm not sure if the appropriate remark is "well done!" or "hurrah!".

I think where I come down is "Oh good, today my gender identity was someone else's problem."

That was absolutely the proper response in context, yes.
