So I went to the mall the other day, in my regular clothes, and I noticed a couple things. First of all, in one store there were a few effeminate men picking out skirts. No one looked at them strange, they were very nice and complimented my friends shoes. The salespeople were helpful to them and had no problem with them trying on the skirts in the store. I wanted to pat them on the back for being able to be so open.
Secondly, I went to look for some men's clothes, so I was on the men's side of the store, and the salespeople were nice, asked me if I needed help, and let me use the men's dressing room. Now they probably thought I was a lesbian, but regardless, I found it much less of a big deal than I thought it would be to try on the opposite clothes while I wasn't crossdressed. Or maybe it's just that the stores I shop in are more tolerant of the gay community. (Hot Topic, GAP) Have you guys encountered things like this? Or on the other hand, salespeople being rude to you?
