A safe place for trans individuals to talk to each other about anything.
Progress
So things are moving along, got a little more honesty from my wife last night. I got "I'm not attracted to women" which kind of threw me off because I wonder with all the acceptance and encouragement I'm getting I think that might be something she's wrestling with: how others will feel about her.
This was prompted after my first real shop for clothes. This was at GAP in Western MA USA, your mileage may vary(?) but they were great, didn't bat an eye, non-exclusionary or different at all. My hair is still growing out, my facial hair is diminished but slowing fading away as I tweeze out to in and no makeup so I certainly didn't look like I was looking for myself in the womens section but as soon as I said I wanted to see what size I was she pulled out multiple pairs of jeans and helped me to a dressing room.
Seeing myself in a few complete outfits made me feel sooo good. I haven't felt that good looking at myself in the mirror in a long time. I bought way too much, but there was a major 50% off everything overpriced, I mean regular price, and tons of clearance. I got some comphy clothes for around the house, the only place where I expect to be wearing anything for a while. I also got a brave number or two, even some work shirts as goals to shoot for, and a new jacket that is the cuuuuutest little fake army coat that I had to put on before even leaving the store.
All in all I spent a long time trying things on and was really happy with what I ended up with. What stores have you had good experiences with? Are there particular fits that work well for you? Now I'm on the lookout for shoes, flat feet that are as long as a duck, probably not many options.




Really happy you had this nice experience while shopping! Personally I find thrift stores have the least judgemental attitude.
