Hi all
I just thought that I'd like to share an experience that i had yesterday. During an afternoon off work I was browsing the local shops and walked past the playtex underwear shop. On the spur of the moment I went in and whilst looking at the wares for sale was asked by a very helpful shop assistant if i required any help. With out even thinking i blurted out that I was shopping for myself and needed help and advice and potentially even a proper fitting.
The shop was pretty quiet however the manageress was out in the changing rooms already dealing with a fitting. I was told that that wasn't a problem we just had to wait for the other women to leave. During the next 20 minutes or so i had a very in depth conversation with the lovely shop assistant about myself, where i see myself going, when i might be able to transition and many other things about being transsexual. She explained that although she hadn't dealt with anyone in my position before others who worked there had. I was amazed how easy it was to talk to this lady.
Once the changing rooms were empty we began and after being measured tried on a variety of styles and designs each time being given advice on each. I ended up leaving the shop with a smile on my face and feeling so much more confident about myself (in case you hadn't worked out I was in male mode the whole way through)
I really don't know where the nerve came from to do it but I'm so glad that i did.
