Yesterday I had my first outing in about a month. I shaved my legs for the last time. On my previous outing, I bought a calf-length black dress. It looks casual. I wore my dress, nude hose, wide ladies belt, and my heels (In my avatar as of the day I write this). I was presenting male. I only had a couple hours for my outing. I went to the consignment shop where I bought the dress.
I walked into the store and both ladies who were working were the ones who helped me when I was shopping for the dress (the owner and an employee). They both said, "Very cute!" when I came in. They were happy and helpful. I looked around a little and tried on some clothes. But I did not come to shop, just to visit. While I was shopping around, the second clerk asked me
Several customers came and went. Most of them saw me and then went on about their business. One customer in the clothing section where I was had this look that I would describe as "Eww" on her face for a brief moment when she first saw me. But later, she was talking to me like I was her next door neighbor. We were talking about clothes and our children, etc.
While I was shopping, the employee asked me when was I going to come in and take them out to lunch. I think she was serious. I am NOT going out one-on-one with a woman to eat. Let's get that straight :). Her suggestion was that I come in dressed and we go out to a restaurant. That would be a first! Be in public with a woman who supports me... But I'm not doing that so close to home!
The owner of the store left for lunch. The employee and I were talking. I asked if there was any work I could do for them while I was there, but there wasn't. Then she said I could help her with her relationship issues. She started telling me about a relationship she is in. She asked me for some advice.
After I left the consignment shop, I went to a furniture store. There is something I legitimately want to buy. (I considered going there first, but I chickened out.) I walked into the store. The female SA never showed ANY reaction to my clothes. She helped me and walked me to various examples. She literally showed no sign of surprise or concern about my unusual outfit. It felt very normal.
