My work uniform is what finally made it click for me. I was getting ready one morning, and it just really hit me that it felt like I was putting on someone else's costume. How so much of my wardrobe felt that way, and had for a long time, I just hadn't been ready to face that part of myself.
That's a very good way to put it; I know exactly what you mean. (There should be PSAs on TV for this kind of thing: hey, kids! If you experience this, you're probably trans!)
I've always (until very recently, of course) really hated buying clothes. One of the factors leading up to my egg-crack was my wife (justifiably) nagging me that my clothes were all falling apart and I really needed to get some new ones. She even very kindly offered to order some for me online. But I just... couldn't. The idea of buying and wearing this stuff wasn't something I could recognize in myself. And, at last, I realized that there might be something bigger going on.
ohh I feel this. I only have one fem top so far the rest is just black t shirts with the circle collar that i am beginning to loathe.
Yeah hut you cut could those and make a bunch of cute off the shoulder shirts and what not. Though IMO a graphic tee would be better for that.
🤔 not a bad idea
That's genius! Just watched a tutorial, and I'm going to destroy some T-shirts!
I wonder if it would look good over a tank top? Still haven't quite figured out the "layers" thing.
do you have a link to the tut?
Hmm..
What if I am OK with both?
That's cool; you do you!
