that needs a good home. It's not a lot, but some of it was expensive. Normally I donate to thrift shops and agencies, but I have a bag of things that I was given by people who specifically want me to be more girly and stop acting like a man, so it seems only right that I give them to a fellow trans person.
I think it's not too revealing to say I live in Portland Oregon. I'm out in public and politically active, so that's not sensitive information. I'm 5 feet 6 or 7 inches, 135 lbs, and the clothing looks like it would fit me, albeit somewhat loosely, if that helps with sizing. There's a bunch of makeup, some used once (I let a friend make me up for court) and some unused. There's a Dina Bar-el dress size medium, with some kind of fine art Renaissance venus print under black mesh, and there's some underwear/lingerie. There's some cheapish jewelry, some perfume, some makeup remover, an unopened jar of body wax, and I'm not sure what else.
I'm Poor with a capital p in a neighborhood where that's uncommon, and people both pity me and think they can talk me out of being a boy. So they keep giving me stuff I don't want. PM if you want to take it off my hands. It's okay if you just want some of it. I do not like to waste things, and I don't like having things that someone else would use better.
I live way too far away to possibly think about accepting the offer, but I wanted to congratulate you for your generosity. I'd certainly appreciate it.
Ditto that! You're a nice person, hugs, Tracey
Thanks people. I found someone who wants them. :)

^^ Also, This.
I'm an 'underprivileged' (Read: homeless-ish) college student, so I really appreciate simple generosity like this.
For many of us on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale, simply obtaining shelter and food is hard enough. I know several other trans women in my same shoes, where the cost of transitioning is an unpenetrable barrier.
Having been on the receiving end of transactions like this in the past, I can bet that you made some very lucky woman feel very special ^-^
(Perhaps having a thread dedicated solely to this purpose would induce people to be more charitable?)
Felix, sorry I`m so far away , I have enough stetson and old spice here to , well I don`t know what to do with it, Chistmas is coming so there will more :( I m not out but , I`m kinda un->-bleeped-<-in belivably obvious, so why do they do this every year. If you can`t give it away , you can always have a bonfire.
