“Be a Normal Man” is the subject of a spam e-mail I received this morning. So, following the advice of that e-mail, I went to Home Depot to do some shopping like a “normal man.”
To my astonishment, there were more women shopping at Home Depot than men. The majority of the Home Depot sales associates were women, too.
I felt out of place, just like when I go shopping for girly things in a girly store while dressed as a boy. It felt like every woman in Home Depot was watching me to see what girly product I would fondle. I could read their minds, “What is HE going to do with that Torx screwdriver?”
I was so paranoid that I used the automated self-check-out instead of going to one of the cashiers (who were all women) to avoid the smirks and knowing looks that I was bound to receive while making my girly purchase.
Next time I shop at Home Depot, I will be sure to wear a dress, wig, makeup and heels so I won't feel out of place.

Cashiers? At Home Despot? I was in one today, it was all self serve
ReplyDeleteDid you know that a few years ago the Home Depot store manager in Meriden was a trans person? That the store in my town had a couple of trans clerks (One of whom used to be a former COS member.). And down in North Carolina there is also a HD store manger who’s trans, she used to be from CT.
ReplyDeleteHa ha You just hit the nail on the head (no excuse for the pun) with how I feel when needing to just feel that knitted dress on the hanger even though I can feel eyes burning into me!
