Well yes we worry about the “thing” being hidden too.  Lol

I've found that for my 32" waist and my 130-140ish weight not being well endowed thank good a 6 fits me well, and a 7 work well. 5 would be too small, and 8 would be falling off of me inside my pants or leggings.  One of the things I discovered about panties is that they tend to fall down even in pants or leggings. I had never understood why girls were pulling up their pants. That was until I started transitioning almost 5 years and wearing panties. I was like Holy Cow! Being very smooth for a male born female, it was very eye opening. There was a day when I worked a 1/2 of a shift at work with my panties almost in my pant legs. Now I understand, we're not pulling up our pants, but pulling up our underwear in them.  I also wear a nylon pull over bra, which goes by S, M, L, and XL sizes instead of numbers which is helpful.

Also just FYI  I am ordering off Amazon so trying on is a bit tough.  Lol

You might try ordering off ebay or AliExpress until you find your size. Some are under two bucks. I'm wearing Hanes at the moment, bought from ebay in a package of six for about one-fifty each.

Since this post I have learned some of my sizes.   Size 6 in panties.  I was lucky ordering from Amazon. I ordered a size 8 but my wife told me they would be to big.  Exchanged before they shipped for the size 6 and they were perfect.  
Still having to try things everything else on when in the stores. But have not gotten much.  Some Old Navy leggings and fleece pants too. Size 42 clogs and boots.

I had to look that up. Euro sizes. Also, dammit you've got tiny feet too. SO jealous. You can shop in the stores for humans.

 

Hugs!

This has been a welcome change for me since starting HRT.  I was size 11W or 11.5 in most ladies shoes just 15 mos ago.  I had a difficult time finding any selection in my size.  Since then, I’ve lost weight and the E has shrunk my feet down to size 9.5.  Now most local shoe places carry a good selection in my size.  What a difference a size or two can make.

I find it hard to find things.  I’m at the largest size they carry or just over it.  
I am at the point where I’m big for a girl but small for a guy.

I have bought my first pair of shoes, just some black ballet flats, size 13. Haven’t had a chance to wear the new shoes yet. My wife is going away for a couple of days, so I’ll be breaking them in at home for the next couple of evenings. 

 

I don’t know why anything over a ladies 10 and they start turning into ugly utilitarian footwear. Why can’t they make cute shoes or boots in bigger sizes, without having to shop at drag stores for massive platforms or stilettos?  Nothing wrong with them, just not my style. I’m more of a flat or a low heel bootie or pump kinda gal.

Totally agree.  It hard to find anything cute.  I like to try things on and then go look online for the better price.  Its tough when everything is to small to try on.

OMG this. I'm a women's size 13 so sometimes I can find internet returns in my size. They're all ugly as hell.

 

I've been shopping at Long Tall Sally and they've been pretty good to me. I've got a pair of low boots I absolutely love along with some casual shoes and a couple of dressy pairs (the party shoes hurt the hell out of my feet though).

 

Hugs!

Great tip Jackie. Thank you!

 

I'm about over finding cute shoes only to find they are snowshoes or water skis in my size.

      I'm tired of the two-party system.  It has degraded to a system where there are only two diametrically opposed views, neither of which supports me.  I have conservative views regarding big government and government spending but I have very liberal views when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals.  And just elections of the past, I am stuck with two choices, neither of which I support. With only two parties, each with agendas that are off the left and right scales, I am not adequately represented.    Finally, I'm okay with party affiliated politicians running for office using their party views, but once elected to office, they are obligated to support the entire electorate not just the electorate members that voted for them.  Plain and simple, our government system is broken and dysfunctional.  I'll step down from my soapbox now.

      Thanks Mae.  She was an amazing friend and I grew to love her like a sister.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.

      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.

      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie
