You can't be a chicken when you are an AlleyCat!! You would be chewing on yourself!!

To get more serious, you have already received a lot of good advice. I have been a CD for 70+ years, and have shopped in all kinds of stores over the years. When I was quite young it was hard to buy feamle things, but the older I got the easier it became.

If you shop in drab, you don't have to tell the SA's you are buying for yourself. In my case, the SA's in most of the stores know that I am a CD and are very helpful. Sometimes I shop in drab and sometimes dressed enfemme, but always without a wig or makeup. I quit using them when my wife passed away 5 years ago. And yes I do try on feminine clothes in the stores. Not alwaya, but sometimes I feel the need to!

You just need to get your courage up, and go shopping!! You will enjoy it!!
