I know alot of things on here are a bit repetative but I hope to inspire the members new to shopping. Today I stopped at like 5 dollar type stores looking for nail glue and finally the 5th one had it. I bought something at everystore. I then went to a major clothing store and bought a few things.
For me, it is far easier to shop for womens clothes while enfemme. I do not feel out of place. Hardly anyone including cashiers blink an eye. Throughout today everyone treated me just like another woman customer. The last one tried to convince me into getting a store credit card...most likely she is required to push that. I know I am read once I get to the cashier...before that while shopping I am not sure. The people sure do not act like they are reading me... but of course it must happen. I do dress a bit conservative, with just enough makeup to cover and I usually wear sunglasses, but I have more and more been putting them on top of my head while shopping. No eye shadow, etc either, just bright blue eyes.
Now to the main thing I wanted to say. Just talk in your normal voice. I did rather loudly tell one of the cashiers stocking shelves at the dollar store that I was ready. The woman she was talking to looked at me for an extended second and then went about her business. Just relax and go where you want to...it really does get easier!!!:)
