I should clarify that:

With the exception of the one store mentioned above, each time I've 
felt comfortable enough to ask to try something on, the salespeople
have had no problem with my doing so and are usually quite friendly.
I haven't been thrown out of a store yet -- after all, if I try 
something on, I might decide I like it enough to buy it, and my
money is as green as anyone else's.

Of course at some stores they're friendlier than at others.  The 
Limited store near me has certainly earned praise.

There is now a TV/TS newsgroup, alt.transgendered.  (I'd hoped for a soc.*
group, but oh well...)
