I popped into the grocery store earlier this afternoon to pick up some milk & bread, and on my way to the dairy I noticed some nail polish on sale. Before I go any further, you must know that I'm not out yet. I dress discretely/privately, and sometimes paint my toenails because nobody else can see them. My day-to-day look is relatively masculine as I have a shaved head and long beard. Anyway, I head to the checkout with my little bottle of bright blue nail polish and the girl at the register (who is most likely still in high school) asks somewhat jokingly if I'm painting my nails. Tongue in cheek I reply, "Yeah, I thought the color looked good" and waved my fingers half-jokingly.
I was hoping for a little chuckle or banter back but I got nothing, so I felt a little awkward after that. Still, it felt kind of nice to be asked and answer somewhat honestly lol!
