Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Researching transition. Also plan on going clothes & accessory shopping with my friend. I have never wanted to do that or gave a shit and suddenly I'm kind of excited about clothes shopping. Still kind of limited on what I plan on buying because ATM I just look like a scrawny guy and I'm not brave. But some accessories, hats, rings, gloves, etc are planned purchases. And I'm really excited!
Also since learning I'm trans I suddenly want to actually do things again in general: I've been playing my video game backlog more actively. Playing the new Quake 1 expansion Dawn of The Machine. Its pretty good.
Been a little light on the socializing as of late.
Other than that though unfortunately a lot of more boring stuff relating to insurance, chores, diet planning, my car, and work.
Girl, getchaself some yoga pants. You won't regret it. You can even wear them under regular pants to get used to the feel without braving the look.
Another tip: learn how to layer effectively. You might find a few pieces you love but not know how to connect the look. It's all about the layers. That's the secret that will open a whole new world and range of personal expression to your wardrobe.
And yeah it makes sense that you didn't care about shopping before, because you had a subconscious block that was telling you you can't shop in the section that has the clothes you actually want to wear!
Little by little you'll start to see just how many areas of your life that blockage was telling you "no" to everything you had an interest in. Now you finally get to start living. Congrats!
I think you might be surprised about how much the clothing is a part of looking the part. The right clothes might literally be the difference. Good luck!
I hope you have so much fun clothes shopping! It's really awesome that you've found your motivation to do things again :)
