I have this assumption that you're really tall... Is that true?

I'm 5'0, so nah. I'm short.

Finding Masculine Clothing in the Women’s Section

Kai says:

I have parents who only let me buy clothing from the women’s section, so I thought I would compile a list of places I know you can find masculine/gender neutral clothing in the women’s section for all the other transmasculine people who might be closeted or have parents like mine! If you know of any I’ve missed, please send an ask to my personal blog kaikev

Note that some of these stores/brands may be more expensive than others if they aren’t on sale. I also apologize in advance if these stores are not accommodating to plus size individuals; I don’t have any experience with that and if anyone has suggestions for additions to these lists, please tell me!

I also apologize for any problematic language I use in this post, so feel free to send any suggestions for better wording to my personal blog (listed above).

Button down shirts/flannels:

Uniqlo

H&M

GAP / GAP Factory

Old Navy

J. Crew / J. Crew Factory

Anywhere you can find button down shirts/flannels

T-shirts:

American Apparel

Hot Topic

Anywhere you can get unisex t-shirts (for example, custom designs or merchandise)

Pants (I recommend chinos because they tend to be less curve hugging and have bigger pockets):

H&M

RVCA

Zumiez

Pacsun

Levi’s

GAP / GAP Factory

Adidas (they have track pants that are pretty masc/neutral)

Generally chinos, joggers, track pants, and sweatpants are styles that are more neutral/masc and tend to have bigger pockets

Shorts (these are hard to find in the women’s section unless you can get athletic shorts):

GAP / GAP factory (they have 9 inch or 10 inch shorts)

athletic brands or stores for basketball shorts like Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Sports Authority, etc.

Generally, basketball shorts are masc/neutral and have pockets

Edit: also bermuda style shorts are generally longer. You can always each “9 inch shorts” on websites and see what comes up

Jackets/Hoodies/Sweatshirts:

Zumiez

Pacsun

H&M

Old Navy

Tilly’s

Vans

ASOS

Athletic brands and stores tend to have masc/neutral jackets, hoodies, and sweatshirts (see above at Shorts section for links)

Edit: outdoor stores/brands like The North Face, Patagonia, REI, etc. have a lot of neutral clothing in the women’s section.

Formalwear (specifically blazers/suits. If you’re looking for button down shirts, see the section above as well):

J Crew / J Crew factory

Nordstrom

Wildfang (this is marketed towards masc women, so some parents might not approve because they sell men’s section clothing there)

ASOS

Mango

Old Navy (for blazers)

Dr. Martens (for shoes)

H&M (for slacks/pants)

Blazers can range from quite feminine to very neutral, so it may take a while to find one you like. Suits might be easier to find in a neutral style, though they tend to be more expensive. For button down shirts, see above. Slacks/pants are not too hard to find as well.

Shoes:

Vans

Converse

Adidas

Dr. Martens

Nike

Athletic brands in general, especially skate shoes tend to be masc/neutral/unisex

Swimwear (rash guards and boardshorts):

If you search on Amazon, or online for women’s rashguards, there will be some that are more neutral. Kanu Surf brand looks a little more neutral, but I’m sure there are others.

If you search for 9″, 10″, or 11″ board shorts for women, you can find neutral board shorts like this Volcom one and Rip Curl one

Wearing a rash guard and boardshorts over a one piece swimsuit or a sports bra and a bikini bottom works for swimming

Racing/sporty one piece swimsuits might help with compression and holding your chest in place, so check out brands like Nike, Speedo, etc. for high quality racing one piece swimsuits that have a little bit of compression

Binders/High compression sports bras:

See our Transmasculine Resources for binders, though these are not from the “women’s” section, so transphobic parents might not let you buy it

Underworks Magicotton Sports Bra and Binding Minimizer Bra (marketed for cis women as a sports bra, so potentially transphobic parents might let you buy it. If you check the reviews, many people use it as a binder)

You can also find high compression sports bras from athletic brands like Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, etc.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to send me more suggestions if you come across anything helpful - this post will probably be edited to add more links so check back every once in a while and reblog again for your followers and for updates!

My way of flirting is looking at the person I’m attracted to and hoping they’re braver than I am.

Maybe ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?’ isn’t a show that displays how stupid grown adults can be, but rather, a show that depicts how much useless information we teach grade schoolers that won’t be retained or applicable later in life.

My favorite protest sign so far regarding the election in 2016.

Most people treat depression as if the depressed person sat down in a room, weighed out the pros and cons, and decided being depressed was a great option.

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you like someone? That’s common sense leaving your body.

Brass nails and why I have them.

Ever since last night I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my brass fingernails. First of all. NO, they are not prosthesis. i have them for a specific reason.

Here’s what they look like:

another view

HERE’s is the reason:

I bite my nails all the time. constantly, idly, without thinking.

If you’re like me, and love giving back scratches, then having no nails is a problem:

Here’s how chose to fix this problem:

Shoot bullet, collect casing.

cut bullet.

The bullets have a taper inside. we will want the broader side of the taper to be outward on our nails, and the thinner side against the rear of the nail so there is no jutting up of material when they are glued on. Here’s what that taper looks like, one cylinder is flipped over to show how thick it is at the base:

clip, bend, and trim into a nail shape:

sand for a fine (BUT NOT CUTTING SHARP) edge on the front and smooth edges.

Glue with Krazy glue, it’s the best.

it’ll dry quick. NOW TRY BACK SCRATCHES. LOOK AT THIS DIFFERENCE.

Amazing. the nails will stay on for about a week at a time before working themselves loose, when that happens just scrape the glue off and reapply.

Unless you happen to have reached into the closet and snagged it on your shelves and broke the nail off on your pinky cuz holy god that hurt. reapply anyways.

Also these work as screwdrivers, knives and various other multi-tools at the tip of your finger, so that’s pretty rad. I don’t know how odd i should feel about having done this, but i must say; it’s handy as hell and really fun to have nails again.

OH, also you can shine them with “brasso” or something but screw that, I’ve tried that and they get mirror bright and really annoyingly shiny. not my thing.
