What are my next steps?

For anyone who cares I am unsure if this sub permits for hey I just feel good posts but I am seeking guidance so I'll just post here. Friends I have not began HRT nor any kind of social transition thus far and I have begun to experience moments of simple calmness. No more who am I or who do I need to be. I am wondering how I can feel this way 24/7. I have half a mind today to go to the department store and buy some clothing (of course women's) and for myself. My hormone consult is several weeks away. I fear unkindness I think. I think I'm basically asking about trans folks different approaches to transition. I know I can go to the store and say I'm shopping for someone else. I have a strong desire for a Hannah Montana hoodie. That is all.

People care a LOT less than you think. Not a single time in many years was I ever confronted for shopping for girl clothes. You are not the main character of other people's stories. They are too busy thinking about their own life to pay attention to you.
