I am new to this site and have been reading some of the old posts. I dont understand why some go shopping in male mode and go into the womens dept and ask if they could try some thing on and become upset when the SA either says no or they laugh and make fun of them. They even do this when dressed and dont pass so well.
I have spent 19 years in the military mostly overseas. If the military taught me anything is " Dont draw attention to yourself and make yourself a Target"
Being a Transgender I know there are a lot of people who dont understand or accept me. So I have learned to know my sizes and buy mostly online. But if I do go into a store to shop I shop my size and dont try on. I dont have a problem returning anything because if they ask whats wrong with it , I say my wife ( I'm not married ) doesnt like it.
If you do shop in male mode and there is a mens changing room why dont you just use it? why do you need to use the womans dressing rooms knowing what problems that will cause. Just remember-- DONT DRAW ATTENTION AND MAKE YOURSELF A TARGET if you do, then dont get upset with the SA response, you brought it upon yourself.
I am sorry if this offends anyone but this rule works for me, I am still in the closet for a reason, when I do shop in stores I always ask for a gift receipt and gift boxes making it look like it is a gift ( it really is a gift, for me lol ) I ont go out looking for trouble or to bring harssment on myself.
