Let me just preface this by saying that I’m not yet 100% sure that this is who I am. But I wanted to try out another name, to see how it feels. Maybe I will realize I’m transfem one day, or maybe that I’m NB or fluid.

What I do know however, is that I want to express myself in more feminine ways, but I wouldn’t want to waste my entire wardrobe, if it’s possible to make something femme out of it.

I thought that you gals would maybe have some tips concerning that, or maybe some good resources you could point me to.

For example, I own a bajillion generic mens’ tshirts, what could I do with those? Tuck them in a skirt? Tie them up to be cropped? Idk

I guess I’m just generally someone who has great fun in making the best out of what they already have.

Also, shoes. Holy cow, shoes. I’m a EU 48, which translates to a UK 13, a US mens’ 14 and a US womens’ 15. Not much choice, is there?

So many new thoughts zooming through my head right now, but this wall of text has to be enough for now, otherwise I wouldn’t be done typing until next week.

Who knows, maybe you’ll hear more from me over the next months of introspection.

    Ahhh, I remember seeing your post here now. I’ve set read posts to hide, that’s why I forgot about it.

    I need to check it out :)

    Shoes are definitely the biggest annoyance, maybe going the ambiguous mens’ shoes route is my best bet to complete an actual outfit top to bottom one day

      I feel you on the shoes. I haven’t really even looked, could be due to the fact that my big wide ass feet have limited selection anyway, it’s less about what do you like and more, what can I wear?

          It sucks 😩

          Although, that tall Sally website did have a filter for up to size 15 so 🤷‍♀️

          Im definitely gonna check it out for some clothes at least.

            Idk, if I check EU sizes, it tops out at 46.

            But then it also says that a UK 13 is equivalent to a 46, while the charts I find when searxing tell me UK 13 is an EU 48, the size I’d need

            I’m confused

              Are you EU, or us? I saw another reference to EU sizins, but then height in feet. If you’re in the US, there is a US site. If you’re in the UK, I don’t really understand why they wouldn’t have bigger.

                  “whatever reason” it tends to skew American for whatever reason, but also, the UK tends to have some unholy abomination of metic & imperial 🤣

                    I genuinely don’t know why my head does that. I’m 1.85m tall, there😅

                    That has always been the magic number for me growing up, and I reached it bang on
