I thought the lighter side of crossdressing might make this a more bearable Monday, here's my contribution. I was in California at a department store fully dressed in male clothes just doing a little shopping when I saw this very cute dress and wanted to try it on. I approached a lady in her late 40's working at the fitting rooms and asked for a room. She looked at me and then at what I was holding, then back to me and stated "Sir, that’s a ladies dress". With total deadpan I said "Oh, I'm sorry, Where are the men’s dresses?". She stated that they "did not carry such an item". After a thoughtful pause I said "well then, I guess this one will have to do, may I?". with a strange look and a slight shake of her head she showed me a room. She still looked confused when I left. I would have given anything to her the story told in her words over her dinner table that night.
Don't be shy, share those stories.
