I've purchased many items of ladies' apparel. I've always been treated in a professional manner by SA's. The first pair of pumps I purchased, the young lady was very helpful at explaining the nuances of walking in heels. Again, very professional. However, other shoppers are usually a pain in the backside. Often, when trying on an item, someone will ask one or two questions, then drop the bomb. "Are you gay?" I answer truthfully that I'm transgender. "Oh, then you ARE gay!?"
No, I'm not. I have a couple acquaintances that are. I don't have a problem with gays. I attend Pride activities. I support the entire LGBT community. But, just because I purchase a feminine article, I'm immediately percieved as gay. I very well may be overreacting to this, but there is a difference. I well know some members here are gay, and I gladly support them. Maybe the next time, I should just go totally DQ on them and say something shocking... Well, some statements come to mind, but I'll forgo their usage. Use you imagination.
What, if any, is your experience with this.
