Once while on my way to Vietnam I wanted some time to be me. To round out my wardrobe I needed a skirt and went to the Sears in Riverside. On returning to the motel I found the skirt was to small. Back to Sears where I was hasseled by the clerk. Even the ploy that my wife had sent me back still didn't shut her up. She finially got tired of embarrasing me And I got my skirt. It's a shame I had to dispose of it all before flying out.
On the up side I went into a Walmart for some shoes(years later).
I told the clerk it was for Halloween, which it was. She was very helpful and even provided footies. I have large and wide feet and settled for a pair of slip ons. It took some time to find the right ones.
I do all my shopping in drab and no longer even bother explaining myself or looking guilty.
The last comment I got was on some makeup I was buying. The clerk said that it was just my shade and I just smiled and thanked her for verifing my choice.
"Have a good day, sir...er, Ma'am!"

Twice I have been called sir while enfemme. And actually it does not bother me. Once was the first time I was out and about with my wife. We were antiquing and the SA kept asking me questions with sir and other male pronouns as I could tell he was trying to get to me. I just calmly answered his questions and then continued my browsing. He did not seem to like the fact he did not get me to respond.
The second time I was at JCPenny and had just gone through the clearance racks with several GG's doing the same. The whole area was busy and there was two SA's helping people at the counter with several of us waiting to pay. The other GG's seemed indifferent to me being there or they did not look very close. When my turn to pay came up the SA looked up at me and said hello sir and I said hi back. But as I handed her my purchase she must have noticed I was enfemme more than she noticed at first. She became a bit unsettled for a bit and then calmed down as she went. I did not say any thing, but just made the normal small talk. She finished with a big have a good day Ma'am. I just smiled and told her to also.

In the Summer, I usually wear woman's T-Shirts and once in while will be addressed as "Mam" and then I turn around and it's like "Oh sorry SIR". Most times I go out fully dressed and once wife and I went to Wall-Mart and we had a return. Wife handed me the return to handle while she went on shopping. I did not have the receipt so the clerk asked for ID. I handed her my DL and she looks at it confused, then at me, and says "Hun, You can not use her Husbands DL". I smiled and told her it WAS my DL. Again she looked confused then it was like a Light Bulb had blinked On over her head. Her eyes got big and she then asked, "Are you a ..." and I quickly answered , "Yes, is that a problem?". She responded, No No No..No problem". Then she got all chatty and when I left she said, "Have a nice day Dear". I answered, "You too sweetie".
So far with the exception of two instances where I HAD to out myself, I have not had any confusion while out dressed. When I told my wife what happen, she looked at me and then started giggling. She thought it was funny.
