Just shop for yourself. I think you are freaking outself out. If I ever see a guy in the girls' section I don't really bother thinking must about it and neither does anyone I know. I highly doubt anyone is going to interrupt their shopping spree to stare at you and wonder what you are doing in the wrong section. xP

I'm a girl and shop in the guys' sections all the time. If you are worried about them seeing you bringing girls' clothing into the guys' dressing room do this: first go get two BIG guys' pants/shirts and then go to the girls' section. Pic out what you want to try on from the girls' section and put it all between the two large guys' items. Then no one will see or even care. They don't know why you are in the girls' section-- maybe you are trying to buy a present or shop for your little sister? Who knows.

The important thing is just to be comfortable with yourself. If you are really nervous while shopping, THAT is what makes people pay attention. Just be chill and have fun. =]

Generally when I shop for myself I am in a guys store or guys part of the store.. lol Really most people wont take a second glance at you for it.. and if they do it's none of their business... But if you do feel uncomfortable with it you could just find out your sizes and until you figure something else out shop online? There are some pretty amazing online store.. But shopping in stores is fun so if you can get a few friends to have a lil fun with you to help you maybe feel more comfortable you could do the following: go shopping with a group of friends and they can all try on opposite gendered clothing? that way you don't feel so much like the odd one out with opposite gender clothing? and if you feel like you are stilling getting odd looks or whatever it is about shopping that bothers you, you can have the satisfaction of knowing their not just looking at you but the whole group ^_^.

It can be pretty hard to shop for clothing normally for the opposite sex. If you have a credit card or something of the like then you can shop online. If you can manage to pass off as the opposite sex then just go into the store with the mind that you are a natural born person of that sex. Half of passing is believing that you pass. Or, if you cant do either of those... there is the blunt way of doing it. Go in dressed comfortably and just pick out the items you want. If they look at you oddly act naturally... they can not bar you from buying items based on sex. Besides, your money is as good as anyone elses.
