Congratulations on your wonderful experience. Shopping for and trying on Women's clothes is such an exciting and fulfilling experience.

That's a wonderful experience. I too have found that a customer gets treated with the same respect from my experiences buying women's shoes and clothes. It's good for business.

@lea-jhene Yes, but I think that is the point. A lot of sales clerks get commissions and their paychecks won't care who added to it.

We have the choice of walking away with ower money if we feel that we are not being treated the way that we expect that we should.

It's STILL 90*f every day here. So chiffon flouncy maxi.skirts light blouses and summer tops and bikini bottoms !
Tee shirts over lightweight bras and simple house dresses still hold sway in this weather here.

Good for you, Allie! I never hesitate to try things on, but never would I try on women's clothing in male mode. Not that I don't have the intestinal fortitude to do it. It just doesn't feel right & when I look in the mirror, I want to see a woman-- not a guy in a dress.

That's a good point, Dawn, and one I hadn't thought of. I've just come back from attending Leeds First Friday, an LBTQ..etc etc friendly event and the first time Allie has been out in public! Thanks to Liz, Ellie and Fluff, otherwise I'd never have had the courage to do that on my own. And I only had to travel 275 miles from home to do it. 

But, now that the ice has been comprehensively broken, I'll be looking for other opportunities maybe not quite so far away, just enough to ensure that I won't be burned at the stake for daring to be "different".

Thanks for your thought-provoking reply.

Allie x

@alexina Wouldn’t that be burned inside a wicker man, up in your neck of the woods? 😜

Ha ha! No no, that was a relic of the past, Joanna. It was banned months ago.

You will soon find that trying things on in stores will become second nature and your anxiety level quickly fades. I've done it for 2 1/2 yrs. and never had an issue. Confidence is key, walk in like you belong there, like you've been there before. Dress to blend in and don't talk to anyone in the fitting room. Go when stores won't be crowded so the fitting rooms will be lightly used. Keeps you from having to stand on a line.

Thanks for your encouragement and advice, Fiona, I'll remember it when I ask to try on my first dress in a store.

I was shopping for a gown for new year's eve and the lady at the changing room, was uncertain if I was allowed to take them to the men's dressing room (I was wearing masculine clothes).

In the past, I would have been too embarrassed to try on the gown to begin with, let alone with a balking employee. But I remind myself that my demeanor when I'm shopping sets the tone. If I'm timid I will get a lot more looks, but if I'm confident I get less attention.

And quite frankly it's 2025, so time to "update your software" people in the public. But I always (try to) remain calm and polite, no matter what happens.
