Were you sad to discard your former gender clothes?

[Shelina]

Despite I identify myself 100% as female in my head, I felt a nostalgia while discarding my male clothes. My shirts, ties, male shoes, costume etc... I have put everything in plastic bags and kept in somewhere and will discard it completely only if ever I succeed transition and it's not wise to discard these in case I must de-transition by force due to circumstancial reasons, we never know but I'll struggle maximum I can to be woman.

I did not discard my indoor clothes though. Funnily I still wear male underwear inside with female clothes outside unless I need to meet a guy. I wear male clothes inside house or when I am going to the nearby shop cos I am too lazy to wear make-up just to go and buy bread early morning.

How about you and discarding your past gender clothes? Did you feel nostalgic or something?

No I wasn't really. I was always a tom boy anyhow, so I didn't have much girly clothes except for bra's maybe but thats about it.

I can't wait to get rid of my other clothes.  I haven't wore guy jeans or underwear in months, except for once when I was way behind on laundry .  Also, I'm becoming handy at sewing so I'll probably restitch some of my shirts into feminine fit clothes, shouldn't be too hard and it will save me money!

[perfectisolation]

I live with my parents, and have so much old girly stuff in the closet that I did not ask for. I'm tempted to just throw it all out for the garbage truck. and I surely will eventually. cause my patience is wearing thin.

Nope!

I don't have much feminine clothes. I've worn mens clothes since I was a kid. I have a couple business-like dresses in my closet that my mom says I'll be forced to wear in the job world. Meh...might as well keep them if that's coming my way then

[The None Blonde]

Nope... felt cold for about a moment, then i got dressed again

[mickie88]

No, I did not. It felt great, as no matter what I will never revert back to the former gender, However, I felt it better than just throw out some of the expensive stuff I had bought or had been bought for me, I donated it to a local thrift store.

[sneakersjay]

No.

Smiled happily the entire way to the Goodwill store and even happier to rid myself of everything, including socks and underwear (that stuff hit the dumpster!)

No. I still have a little of it but when I gave most of it away it was fantastic.

[Janet_Girl]

Two words.  HELL NO.  It was the final burial of that life.  I did keep a couple of tees that I really like.  Kind of male in size, but they are just for knocking around the house.

When I threw out mine I took a picture, and the neighbors thought I had lost my mind. I didn't end up saving it because it was just a picture of a trash bag sitting atop some cat litter and spaghetti leavings, but it seemed like something significant at the time.

I still need many things because of work & my current situation, but I have been clearing out a lot of old clothes & other items over the past few weeks so that moving will be easier in a month or two.  I haven't been sad to see any of it go, but it did make me stop and reflect a bit.  It's kind of like if you've ever lost a lot of weight and you hold up the pair of jeans that would now look like clown pants on you - which happens to be the secondary reason I'm getting rid of lots of things
It's like a visual affirmation that things are going in the right direction, it's not a sadness at all.

[Calistine]

Nope. I didn't have much girl clothes to begin with, but I donated it and felt good. I love my comfy boys clothes.

[Flan]

the only thing i was sad about was the amount of money i had to spend at target and kohl's to replace everything that either didn't fit, or was too male for me xD

and yeah, i donated to the local salvation army, too many otherwise good jeans to simply toss

[Nathan.]

No, but I didn't really have girly clothes anyway.

[findingreason]

For me, at least right now, I'm rather androgyne in things regarding clothing. I may identify female, but it doesn't bother me much if I'm wearing boy's or girl's clothing. *shrugs* that's just me I guess

[K8]

I got nostalgic about some special (to me) items, but I was happy to get rid of the rest.

I thought of keeping some male clothes for gardening or painting, but the very idea of putting on jeans cut for men turned my stomach.  So when I took my old clothes to the thrift store, I picked up some female stuff for doing messy stuff in.

Ugh.   The very idea of wearing male underwear is repugnant to me.  But each to one's own.

A more serious response than before... but it had to be done...

Not paticularly, I sortof slid full time... no real 'now she isnt, now she is' moment. I slowly replaced things till i had a more androgynous wardrobe, which lasted me till about 6 months on hrt, by that time, I wasnt able to pass as a boy, even in adnrogynous clothes... i dumped some, and bought other female stuff and just went on with things... I still do wear some male cut clothes, though I have to buy trousers and tops(male ones are the only ones you can GET) for a sport i play, a size larger in the trousres to accomodate for hips.. they sure arent cut for that. And usually a size bigger top for my bust. Unflattering, yet flattering at the same time... somehow.

I dont really pertain much emotional attachment to clothes.... the only things i kept was two ties, but I wear those to the 'school disco' club night in town.... its no entry without a tie... school boy or school girl!
