finally got my first pair of girl pants. I think I did okay guessing my size from a chart (goodwill does not have changing rooms so I couldn't try it on until I got home), it's a bit baggy for what should be skinny jeans, but it's close enough that i'll be wearing them. Overall I'm happy with it, but yall were not lying about the lack of pockets 🫠
- Where we're going we don't need pockets
- Even for my pants that have pockets, the front pockets are usually shaped in a way that makes it look like I have a bulge. I like my purses, but it's annoying to need them especially when I want to wear affirming clothes without necessarily trying to pass or out myself.
- Also what the fuck do they make girl clothes out of??? The weirdest materials known to humankind, can't hit the dryer
  
  girlie clothes are a lot thinner to promote layering i guess? i dunno, pisses me off that shit cant handle washing though
  
  could be the crazy ass polyester content, this pair is like 20% polyester but I'm noticing among my old pants most have none or some single digit percentage
  unrelated but I did my second shot just now, and you were right when you said last week that 30 gauge is too small for drawing, there's no way to make it easy 😓 though it is technically possible. what gauge would you recommend to balance drawing with not damaging the stopper?
