What piece of clothing you couldn't stand wearing?

Recommended Posts

I always hated dressing up as a guy. The only time you could catch me in a suit was at a funeral. I never found the clothes uncomfortable. I just didn't like them. I just wasn't my self wearing them. I was a jeans a t shirt guy, and now I'm a jeans and t shirt woman.

 

Now I have zero issues dressing up. I dont care if I have to spend two hours looking nice, and have to worry about showing my goods. While it's still not me. I have zero issues dressing up now compared to before.

I dislike clothes in general, but I especially dislike female underwear, and the expectations surrounding it.  

 

I'm totally flat chested, yet my parents lectured me about wearing a bra.  No good reason!  GF always bought panties for me.  I can't stand them.  I have no interest in looking sexy, and they always felt tight, chafing, and annoying.  I got rid of any remaining female underwear by giving it to my sister and partners.  I mostly wear small cotton boxer shorts. Most hot days that's the only fabric I wear.

Neckties of any kind but especially bow ties.  Whoever invented them was out of his mind. 

 

And like @Red_Lauren., nowadays I have no issues at all with getting dressed up.

I get it. Used to be, belts were to hold my pants up. Now, they are there to be ornamental.

I'm with the belt haters.  I like my clothes simple and nonrestrictive.  And at least where I live, belts begin to acquire stuff.  Keys, phone, more keys, flashlight, Leatherman, pistol, etc....  My husband's every day belt almost looks like Batman.  Handy for him, but excessive.

 

At this point, my partners are lucky if they can clip a driver's license, a house key and a $20 bill somewhere on my body before I scamper away.  I don't want to carry anything.

For me they still are used to hold up my pants. I got a booty.

Gotta join the tie haters club. Have had to wear them most of my life thanks to school uniforms and ridiculous work dress codes and that feeling of being restricted around the neck just gives me the ick.

I'm with you on this.

My daily go-to outfit is a simple dress, with pockets if possible.  (although I don't put much in them)  I add layers as the weather cools.   If I go anywhere, my purse has plenty of room for my "stuff".

I cannot stand any shirts that are not cotton. Like sweaters and jackets is fine but if you give me anything that's a shirt but not a t-shirt or made from cotton I will be extremely uncomfortable.

Men's belts are like most men's clothing...purely functional and boring.  I have a few women's belts that are cute and colorful.

I feel embarrassed to say but I hate shirts that have short sleeves, on me at least. I am self conscious about my underarms so it makes me paranoid that everyone is looking at me when I wear a short sleeve shirt.

I've been rejecting male clothing from a very young age, so that's the obvious answer.  Worst of the male clothing - Ties.
In terms of women's clothing anything that irritates my sensitive nipples (3 months into HRT tomorrow).

I don’t like turtle necks, but that’s purely as I don’t like things tight around my neck. The worst clothing before transitioning I’d say is masculine jeans. I hate how baggy they are. I don’t think there’s any feminine clothing I hate. Maybe a polo shirt, but that’s worn by every gender.

Ties do suck.  I was fortunate to work blue collar jobs so there were rarely an issue for me.

I do hate ball caps though.  Hats in general are fine though.  I love a nice floppy-brim witchy looking one.

The two pieces of clothing mentioned above were on the top of my shortlist of clothing I hated wearing back in the day. Although, I was okay with long sleeve mock turtle necks. I guess I didn’t like the feel of too much fabric wrapped around my neck.

 

The number one item I disliked wearing before buying my own clothing as a teenager was the men’s ‘fruit of the loom’ underwear with the easy access slit in the front. I switched to bikini style jockey underwear after I got my first job. I think those men’s ‘fruit of the looms’ were my main source of gender dysphoria growing up…lol

Ohmygosh! Did *that* ever bring back long-suppressed memories! I, too, hated those white Fruit of the Looms, practically as baggy as the men's jeans I wore over them.

 

During my travels thru Europe on my own I was able to start being more adventurous. Fast forward and I haven't worn men's briefs in many years.

 

On this snowy day here in the Boston area, wearing form-fitting yoga pants alllll day long and feeling so comfy.

      That's me too, Mae.  I don't think it's me as much as it is the camera (that's my story anyway).  Cameras hate me.  I never met one that liked me.  I often wish I was photogenic; sadly, not so much.   However, you look terrific in that selfie!

      April, I'm so glad things went well when you came out to your spouse.  So often, things can go sideways.  It's a hurdle we all have to jump at some point.

      I totally understand what you just said. I can relate to this very well. I have a lot.of similar feelings.

      Dickey Betts, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the Allman Brothers Band whose piercing solos, beloved songs and hell-raising spirit defined the band and Southern rock in general, died Thursday morning 04/18/2024 at the age of 80. Rest in peace...

      What an amazing life you've shared with your wife. I can understand the trepidation you had at telling her at that point in your relationship but it certainly saved all of the guilt, the questioning and the secrecy that would have filled your lives had you not.   I'm on the other end of the spectrum having denied and buried my truth for decades and fast approaching 50 years of marriage when the dysphoria and depression finally came to critical mass and I unloaded it all on a New Year's Day morning. As you might imagine, it led to a lot of questions, of questioning everything, of anger and hurt on my wife's part. Guilt, embarrassment, fear...and anything else you can imagine on my part.   Thankfully, our love for each other has always been the foundation of our relationship and, ultimately, we both agreed that staying together was what we both wanted. It was a tough year but, now into the 2d since my coming out, we've hit our stride and are exploring this new norm in our life.   I do so love your blog.

      I thought I would try my version of this. Changes in bold.   I am Transgender.  Sometimes it is remote, sometimes close. Sometimes I am euphoric, sometimes depressed. It is something I cannot get away from and cannot welcome enough. I see some things both ways that neither men as men see or women as women see.  I can be gentle and compassionate and hard as nails. I was born with male genitals but a female heart   I have my heart.  Whatever it is. When I look at a female, I wish I looked like her  Depends on the woman.  When I look at a male, I wish I did not look like him   Ditto. I envy female movements, softness, behaviors, appearances, fashion...EVERYTHING Female Depends. Sometimes I get angry at them because women spend time and energy in ways men don't.  It is not necessarily bad.  I could do without the gossip. Not all women gossip.  Excessive focus on fashion is something I find annoying. And expensive. I tolerate all things male out of social obligation...not because I feel like a man or because it makes me happy....but because that's what I was forced to believe was my only choice....beginning in early childhood. Sometimes it is helpful to put on the Iron Man suit and act accordingly.  But I have seen some tough women. When I look at myself in the mirror in only bra and panties...I can see my nude female body...and it makes me smile and feel amazing and warm inside....yet sad because that is not my reality. I could go either way, mostly. Really.  In tests in the last two years technicians have gone really quiet when they see how little body and leg hair I have.  I looked at myself this morning.  Remove a few clues and a girl is standing there. When I look at myself in the mirror in only boxers...I can see my nude male body and it saddens me deeply and makes me feel sick and depressed...and at times...even ashamed....Because this IS my reality. At this point I am not going to do that. In the mood I am in I might break the mirror. My true gender does not influence my sexual interests or preferences...or change who I am....in any form or fashion. Gender identity is in no way connected to anything sexually related on any level.  Not sure I want to make that statement so categorically. Life as a male leaves me with a feeling that something is off...that something is missing...that something is not as it should have been.   Well put. The idea of having to continue living as a male...as someone I am not...for the rest of my life...even if its only part time...causes great sadness and anxiety within myself. I've got priorities beyond this that this must fit into. The idea of living as the girl I am and always have been on a full time basis...regardless of where I am, what I am doing or who I am around...brings me great joy, happiness and a sense of peace within myself.  Would be neat. Looking like and living as a girl makes me smile.   Would be neat.  There are downsides.  Looking like and living as a guy makes me sad.   I have had lots of practice accepting this. I am Transgender....I am a girl
