Do You Have This Problem?

I never did. I know that some of the guys need chest binders but other than that I don’t know if we need “special” clothes for us. I just buy clothes off the rack.
Transgender Women Struggle To Find Gender-Inclusive Lingerie

This year, Valentina Sampaio, a transgender model, made headlines when she joined Victoria’s Secret. Sampaio broke ground as the company’s first transgender angel, but lingerie shopping isn’t always a heavenly experience.

Many trans people have trouble finding underwear that fits their body and affirms their gender identity. Underwear belongs in the closet — humans do not. Underwear is the foundation of any outfit, and many transgender people rely on fashion as a vital outlet to express themselves. In a Refinery29 article, Devin Halbal wrote about how fashion helped her embrace her gender identity:

“After much reflection, I realized that although I am biologically male, I feel happier and more like myself when I present as a woman ... Fashion lends a way to choose how we want to showcase ourselves every day. It’s a means to break from gender norms — one of the only ways I can challenge how others perceive me. Fashion is the avenue through which I can change and reinvent myself — on my own terms.”
Is it a product that is looking for a market?

There used to be a local lingerie that welcomed us, but then she moved to the west coast to be by her children and grandchildren. She catered to the trans community and helped us just like her other customers to pick out underwear.

The only problem that I ever had was small breasts, large torso, with hormones that problem has mostly gone away.
So what do you think?




Sadly we lost another sisters who was just beginning her life.
Mom heartbroken by daughter’s suicide blames transphobic Republicans & health insurers
“Her life and existence never should have been up for political debate," her mom said. The obituary she wrote for her daughter has since gone viral.

An 18-year-old transgender teenager in North Dakota named Haley Gabriella Feldmann died by suicide on November 12, just six days before her 19th birthday. Her parents blame anti-trans Republican policies and inaccessible trans-related medical care for her death.
[…]
However, their daughter’s despair deepened in response to anti-transgender legislation being introduced nationwide and the transphobic rhetoric that became a mainstay during the administration of Republican President Donald Trump.
[…]
“Her life and existence never should have been up for political debate,” she added. “It should have been easy for everyone to agree that everyone has the right to personal autonomy. She should have been able to be comfortable in her day-to-day existence with the knowledge that society found anyone, and any laws, that shunned or rejected her existence to be distasteful and unacceptable.”
They are using our lives for votes and campaign donations.

We are expendable to them. We are just cannon fodder to them.
