It took me a long time after realizing I was trans to transition, so I ended up having to get comfortable in women's sections while still looking very obviously like a man.
Turns out, it's the nervousness that makes people uncomfortable, because there's a lot of less good reasons a male appearing person might be nervous in a women's section. Once you can manage to shop with confidence, the worst anybody will assume is that you're shopping for a gift for a girlfriend or sister or something.
i realized that a long time ago. if you're looking like you're supposed to be there doing stuff, no one cares.
I hope this is what people think when they see me playing Twister with myself to get a good photo of some bug I found chilling on a blade of grass
