Well done Charlotte, another step on the road so to speak.
The one thing I know about people is that the vast majority are pretty boring, self absorbed and miserable half the time. I'm sure if it was my shop and I needed to be nice to all my customers I would love for someone like you to come in. You see, whatever someones opinion of crossdressers, they have to admit that we are at the very least more interesting than many more regular people. I bet you made her day with your confident and honest reply.
