Building up a new wardrobe takes forever. I've been at this for 3 years now, i've recently done a deep clean of my closet and have now thrifted, given away or donated all my pre-transition clothes except for a few pieces that i still wear and a few others i find too pretty to not keep and it's terrifying how empty my closet is when i'm doing laundry.
Yeah, I was just talking about how if I lost all my clothes during a move or something I would be devastated because it's taken years to build it up.
It's especially bad because I'm closeted, so I don't try clothes on, so I just have to guess what's gonna look good and fit. So I really value the pieces I have.
(But also I just don't like summer fashion generally)
I could wake up tomorrow to find all my men's clothing missing, and I literally wouldn't give a shit lol. Would take me 5 minutes to replenish. "Oh no, I need to buy shirts and pants"
I've been out for most of the time where i'm buying women's clothes and it's still such a fucking hassle to find clothes that actually fit when you're not built like a 12 year old girl. Which, btw, is always a nice conversation topic when you want to build solidarity with cis women, literally everybody i'm talking to who's at least halfway femme presenting hates how women's clothes sizes work, or rather: how they don't work. I'm at the point where i only buy from goth and fetish brands bc they seem to be the only ones who got this shit halfway figured out.
Here it's hard clothes shopping because they have removed all the changing stalls to try things on so you have to gamble sometimes with sizing or fits..

Yeah, my wife is always complaining about sizing, too. We can't fit into clothes easily for very different reasons lol
I also hate how every brand has a different sizing scale, and they're all arbitrary because it doesn't actually cover dimensions.
Honestly, shopping online can often be easier because a lot of the time, they just list exact measurements .
ALSO, no fucking pockets!
cue that twitter post saying "As a gay man, i ofc know how to give women what they want. I give them dresses with pockets."

Why have they removed changing stalls? I haven't seen that
They removed them during covid and they've not been back
