I’m very tall and a lot of Torrid’s clothes end up being a little (or a lot) too short. Especially sleeve length, which is a common problem area in clothes.
I’ve been getting ads from BP about how they’ll be done electrifying their oil wells in the United States by the end of the year or something. Technically a good thing but the obvious green washing is so gross. Them being electric doesn’t change what the wells make/contribute to.
Is it weird that this photo looks less creepy to me than he normally does? Maybe it’s the display of a recognizable human emotion rather than smug contempt or casual indifference.
So, backstory: I started at a new position yesterday (finally able to leave Texas and move somewhere less hostile to my existence). I don’t disclose my gender during the hiring process because I don’t want to face discriminatory hiring practices, so no one knew I was transfem until my first day. My manager met with me before...
Same! My legal name is on some pieces of internal material which I totally understand. They’re usually like tax documents or whatever. One really annoying one is that my work email uses my dead name. My preferred name just redirects to my dead name in Outlook. I’m looking into getting my legal name changed ASAP so that I can change my legal name in the system.
Luckily there are a lot less systemic barriers against trans people in the NE US (where I am now) than in there are Texas. I still don’t understand the process of getting my name changed (it feels way too complex to me, possibly intentionally so), but it seems like it’ll be easier from what I’ve read so far. There are a lot of legal resources online to help trans people navigate the obtuse legal system. Hoping you can get your legal name changed soon, too!
I also feel pretty hopeless about trans rights in my country and the world over, but sometimes I get to see how people all over are making an effort to make us feel welcome, included, affirmed, and loved.
So I’ve been struggling for months to find a name that clicks with me. I keep stumbling on names which feel like the one, then a few minutes to a few days later the name loses its sway on me. I feel like I just have to finally pick something so I can move on with my life, but I’m really not having much success. I keep...
You can see the tweeting from the canary in the first four panels showing they can still hear it singing with Snow White from outside the mine, leading them to not realize that there had been a gas leak
I’m so excited to be leaving Texas finally!! I’ve lived here my whole life and just got a really exciting job in the Northeastern US. My partner (who is also trans) and I are so pumped to be out of here. Manifesting everyone else who’s living in a dangerous area can get the opportunity to leave like I have. Here’s hoping...
Last week I read the gender dysphoria bible and after a few days thinking about it I am coming to accept that I am trans. Everything clicked into place and I feel like I’ve been electrified. My mindset is completely different and I am actively looking forward to things happening in my life. I want to come out and transition...
Check out sockdreams! They have some great thigh high socks that come up halfway on MY thighs (I’m 6’4”) and they’re very comfy. If the socks are having trouble staying up, you can get some garters like another comment suggested. I got my garters through sockdreams as well.
If you want more fem clothes, I get a lot of my stuff from Torrid. Decent quality for the price, and they have a lot of clearance stuff which helps a lot with the cost. I have some really well fitting jeans from Abercrombie and Fitch, too. Plus size stuff is a safer bet since it often has long/tall options.
Also, it can be wonderfully helpful to take your measurements! You can measure hip, bust, inseam, etc, by looping a piece of string around your body and then measuring it. Most clothing brands have size charts that let you match your measurements to their size rules. Remember that just because you’re a size 20 in one brand doesn’t mean you’ll be a size 20 in another, always check the size charts.
I’m having trouble finding affordable dress pants that aren’t total garbage. I’m 6’4”, and it’s always hard to find good clothes that fit me. Was wondering if any other tall ladies here have any recommendations for good places to look?...
It’s going okay today! I’m supposed to hear good things back from a new job opportunity which will finally let me move out of Texas!
Also saw myself in the mirror yesterday and was hit with some nice euphoria! After being on E for a while, I’m starting to get some nice hip development and stuff :)

Got stressed about all the work im supposed to be doing, so I (checks notes) took a bunch of selfies? (lemmy.world)
I really should be working instead of doing my makeup and taking 500 selfies
