A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

Any ideas to find trans friendly clothing stores near me? Live in a fairly conservative place but don't really have access to online shopping. Idk, just want to actually try a dress on somewhere.

Sometimes a store will say on their website if they are LGBT friendly, or you can look up reviews on Google Maps

Yeah, my work (not a clothing store) says "LGBTQ+ friendly" on google maps in the about section so with a bit of luck maybe a local clothing store has that.

I'll look more closely for this.

I'm guessing you live in the U.S.? Geez, what the fuck is wrong with that place, that you can't just go shop wherever you want?

I guess Americans have a different definition of "freedom" than I do.

Not the US but not a trans friendly place in Canada.

Crap. There goes my illusion of Canada being a better place.

Lots of places are! Just not the rectangle in the middle.

Torrid has been really trans friendly for me

Love the look of their stuff

Have you found a local or nearby trans support group? They'd probably have the best recommendations...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have not. I've looked a bit but I'm not really on most social medias which is kind of an issue for this kind of thing.

I found mine via my therapist. But also try googling "trans support groups near me"...it's surprisingly fruitful (pardon the pun).
