I do believe that some time ago men dare I say that word, did not wear earrings or braids and or ponytails. So what has changed is quite a bit. So all the stuff that you said I am working on. You can help me and all the others here by putting on the clothes you'll be wearing that day and hair and makeup and go out the front door. If by chance someone sees you, the most polite thing to do would be. In a soft voice say Hi smile and keep going. Do that to everyone you don't know, most will smile back. If you see someone you know stop and chat or say "sorry can't stay and chat I am in a hurry. Smile again and hurry on your way. Most time I have been out I have never heard " Attention shoppers there is a woman in the store that looks like she could be a man, pay no attention to her she is shopping to." Ask someone " while holding a pair of something up to yourself "do these make my but look big and be glad like me as I do not have one."
