Confusion hitting after tops.

I've been shopping with the mrs for tops last week and couldn't find any.

I'm 6 foot 3 but my shoulders aren't even that broad.

The normal women sizes are to small in the shoulders and the big sizes are to big everywhere else.

Ordered 2 XXL tops online and they also to small.

No problems there just shop somewhere else and keep trying.

Guess I'll have to shop til I drop.

But to my own supprise it got me really down and even more confused than I normally am.

Thinking to myself why am I doing this?

What's the point?

Who am I kidding?

etc etc etc.

Just wanted to share. txs for reading.

ps and I'm sick of saying sorry lately but I can't help it.

Sorry had to get this of my chest.

It may be an idea to get a slightly bigger top, and cinch it in with a cute belt or other things to make it look a little more flash.

Alternatively, you can ask a clerk in store for some help on styles that may be broader in the shoulders.

Don't let clothes builds get you down, one of my favourite men's style jacket has the narrowest of shoulders, I loved wearing it but don't anymore as it's just too tight. It's all about styles and cuts (different brands will have different cuts, too!).

I realize it's not something everyone would get into, but I share your frustrations, and I'm planning to get a sewing machine and learn how to make my own! I'm already eyeing a machine at wal-mart ^_^

      Hi @Amy Powell.  Nice to meet you and Welcome! I think the first thing you will find is that we are a very Diverse (and Accepting) group here on the Forum.  We all have different destinations, but I think you will comfort and encouragement of many shared experiences and struggles. I do hope you can find a trusted therapist, but I discovered finding 'Community' is very helpful too.  Looking forward to hearing more of your Journey AND your many hobbies   Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      This should be the mantra of the Trans community (and basically all of Humanity for that matter, regardless of Identity or differences). I am happy the conference organizers laid down the law to this Interloper.  People like that are basically just Unhappy people, regardless of their gender identity.  I hope she figures that out ...   And, I am sure she had no idea who she was messing with   Bravo for your Courage and Restraint, Sally~

      People don't understand that you simply don't even need to be on HRT to be trans. They are like doughnuts. they appear to be somewhat intelligent but in the middle it's full of air.

      I'm satisfied to stay here in the Old North State. I have this idea that NC, and SC, are really, like different.  Kinda dumb, I guess since I only live about 10 mi from the border.

      Hi, BlackSparkles.    Nice to meet you.  So sorry that you are alone; you and I are neighbours, at least.  Please feel free to join in any of the discussions here.   Regards, Kathy

      Ivy, that's probably excusable for someone who isn't trans; it could be simple ignorance.  But when it comes from within our own community, it is kind of shocking.    Hugs,   Sally

      Thankfully, Ashley she didn't return after that one time.  I have the conference organizers to thank for that, as they push inclusion and acceptance.  I like to think this particular person got the message about her views being bigoted.  Of course it's possible she took her message somewhere else, where she wasn't challenged.    Davie, you are too kind.  Hugs to you my friend.

      Mae, I would be happy to share the PowerPoint presentation I used with you or anyone anyone who think they could benefit from it.  Even though I presented at Keystone, the content is still mine.  Perhaps I could post the material here or make it a blog.  Interestingly, the conference organizers always pick a wide variety of topics to ensure there is something for everyone.  The workshop committee used my presentation (and others) to ensure the workshop didn't reflect only transition related topics.

      I am curious if anyone else has had an issue wearing panties.  After awhile I find that my dangly's tend to get a bit sensitive after a few days of wearing them and I'll stop for a while so they don't get sore. This is so annoying, I want to wear panties more often. I have tried going up a size (which helps, but not alot). I've also seen a doctor, he said everything is well.  Any advice would be welcome

      Hello everyone.  My name is Tracey.  I'm extremely open minded.  I'll just say that.  
    • BLACKSPARKLES
      I have not been in a discussion group in years. Please bare with me.    I'm considering FFS Facial Feminization Surgery and breasts enlargement. I'm 58.   I am in Canada and planning to go to Montreal for the FFS.  I am 58 but didn't transition until I was 46. My idea for me and my body and mental health is to be and look more feminine.    I believe that the FFS and breast enlargement is what I need and want. Sure my age is a factor but not for my mental health but for the physical.  My health is not the greatest. But not bad either.    I have had my bottom surgery February 15th 2017.   I lost every one in my life from abandonment to death. Much more in between.  I am alone in life. My daily life consists of waking up playing my games then tv then bed.   I want to adopt 2 kitties. But if I'm to do this surgery I don't have a single person who can help. So this makes my life more difficult.  Please stop by to say hello. Tracey

      I’ll bet you didn’t know that South Carolina has at least one and sometimes more earthquakes every month!  And no fracking here.     No wind mills either.  But for some reason we make a lot of ethanol.  We grow more trees than most but it’s all for paper and pole use. Cash crops are still cotton and tobacco.  Used to be a big producer of rice now it’s more of a unique crop, Carolina gold.  Pecans and peanuts are big too.  Lots of fruits and vegetable farms.

      Whew you sure did put up with a lot of negativity! More power to you. Do you still have to deal with her?
