I also do not like telling lies.
When I would shop for women's clothing and the sales clerk asked me if I was buying a gift for my wife or girlfriend I used to get scared.
I would stammer something about it being a gift but not finish my sentence.
I then went on to feel ashamed that I didn't stand up for myself and just say I was looking for myself.
Now when someone comes along and asks if I need help, I just tell them I'm doing alright and I thank them or I ask the questions I need to ask.
I think the important thing for you is to realize that your:belief in what you are doing, your belief in your rights and your self-worth should be given top priority.
Think about it...next time someone at home or at school asks you if you shave your legs, part of what they are looking for is your reaction to the question.
This way they can figure out whether it is something they can feel comfortable with or not.
People are always assessing situations to know how they should feel about them.
If your response next time is a smile, a look straight back to their face and a confident, "Sure, I shaved my legs!". Then they will get the sense that at least YOU are not uncomfortable with it.
This will then give them an option to follow-up the question with another or be quite about it, or create a scene.
You can be in charge of the situation by adding to your comment, as long as you are NOT apologizing for the shaved legs etc., waiting for their next comment/question or asking if there is anything else they want to ask, or turning away and continuing on with what you were doing before essentially telling that person that the issue is nothing special to you.
If that person were to persue a line of questioning heading towards crossdressing, you should cut them off before that point at which you will feel you either have to expose yourself or lie.
You can politely do this in a number of ways, by re-directing the conversation back to that person.
Ask them something about the way they are wearing their hair or the type of clothes they are wearing.
Perhaps remark about Lance Armstrong and the fact that all the serious bike riders shave-down.
Ask them if they've ever considered shaving their legs. You can add that his(her) girlfriend/her(his) boyfriend might find it a lot of fun helping them shave for the first time.
You can close the conversation by saying, "I understand now how much work girls go through just to please us guys! I don't know if I'll keep shaving much longer, but then some of us guys shave our faces everyday...right!? "
The option they choose will depend on how you follow through after the question and your relationship with that person.
I suggest you experiment with this in areas you might feel safe.
Like a shoe shop.
Go looking for shoes in a store where they still sit down with you and help you try them on.
I know the upper-scale shoes like Memphisto, Clark's, Birkenstocks etc. are usually sold in stores where you can ask for help in determining how wide your feet are and what European size would fit you.
Oh, I should mention that you should go in shorts. That way your shaved legs are exposed.
When the sales person (man or woman) are down at your feet (see, now you have the 'superior' position!
), let them say something about your legs.It's possible they won't.
If they do remark about your shaved legs, or ask if you are a bicycle rider or a swimmer...TELL THE TRUTH!
That is...tell them you wanted to see what shaved legs feel like and yes, you are currently shaving your legs.
Remember to be polite, confident, and smile!
Easing into this with complete strangers who you feel no threat from might make this whole experience a bit smoother and easier.
Eventually, or perhaps immediately, you can go to school and home with confidence that all you have to tell anyone is that you are interested in having shaved legs.
This is your right!
This is nothing that is harming anyone!
This is one more method of growing as a person!
I've taken to wearing certain types of skirts out in public in drab.
I wear one I made too.
I've only had one unpleasant experience and that was with a woman!
I just needed to really believe that I am only doing what I have the right to do, I am doing something that makes me feel good and although anyone can comment on what I do, they cannot make me stop or feel bad about it as long as I know there's nothing wrong with it!
I hope you'll eventually find ways to increase your comfort level with being who you feel you are.
We were/are all struggling with that here.
I believe the most important thing though is to just believe in how good you are. This is nothing that makes you a bad person or should give you reason to feel bad about yourself.
If shaved legs feel good to you, then walk wth confidence and really feel how good it is to be a free man!
I know it's not easy, but I'm in my 40's now and I've finally decided that I'm old enough and mature enough to know when I'm doing something wrong as opposed to just doing something ignorant people do not approve of.
I'm MUCH more of a free person now than I was when I was 20, or even 30, and it FEELS GREAT!
I hope you can feel this free while your still young!
Think of how much better your life will be!
Good for you! 
). When people notice and ask about my hairlessness (one of my colleagues gave me a full body waxing about ten days ago), I simply answer: "I just prefer it that way." No need to explain further. People generally aren't so unsophisticated that they assume I'm gay or even a crossdresser. Those that do have a far greater problem than my hairlessness.
