Getting The Gen(d)eral Prejudice

(I’m female but I present very masculinely. I’m in the makeup section, looking around seriously.)

Employee: “Why are you even here? You’re not going to buy these girly things.”

Me: “They aren’t for me; I’m buying for someone else.”

Employee: “Just go away.”

Me: “What would you think if a man came here?”

Employee: “Buying a present?”

Me: “Well, there you go.”

Employee: “But…”

(I ended up not buying there and she was like, “I told you so.” I bought elsewhere and walked past with the shopping bag, holding it up to her. She looked pissed.)
