Finally Anna

Ordered a batch of black and marine shorts for the course. Varying length and sizes and in three different models. All to hopefully find a pair or two that both fit and look nice. Also ordered a few women's polos in XXL, for the course, but I have dim hopes of those fitting.

Paradox, paradox: Having wide and square shoulders is considered a positive male feature, but when realizing who I actually am it has become an real problem. Well, the world will go on anyway and I will find tops/t-shirts that fit half-decently. It just takes more trial and error.

Integration ongoing. I'll cross the transition bridge when I get to it.

Nothing recently!

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Kim, I'll have a look. But I'm not tall, just wide. About 5'9" tall and with 6'4" wingspan. Weighing a bit more than I should but just below 80 kg would be a good weight for me.
I'll have a look.
Thank you

LTS do large sizes not just tall and best of all larger shoe sizes which can be a godsend for me. Yours clothing specialises in the larger ladies and Asos has a larger lady section called Asos curves.

If you happen to have large feet, you may wish to try these shopping sites:

Prettybigshoes.com
solebliss.com
Womanwithin.com
Magnusshoes.com
Largefeet.com
Amazon.com

Of this list above, I have only ordered through Amazon.  My issue is wide feet, not large length sizing.

There are other places too.  I cannot remember the other non Amazon site I bought from as it has been a while.  Then there are in person shoe stores of course.  CLARK's is one, and sometimes those are sold on Amazon.  I have also bought some medical professional clog shoes for comfort, a couple of times at a scrubs store and other times at Amazon.  REI is great for walking shoes and boots too.  Boot Barn may be of interest for some of you.

5'9" is when women are classed as tall. I'm on a trans friendly tall women's Facebook page and that's their minimum height.

Really? I'm 5'7" and I would have thought I was classed as tall. Though my inside leg is 30"

I'm 5'7" (at least I used to be) as well. I don't think I'm tall especially against the young girls of today.
And then one day you stop to find,
10 years have got behind you,
no one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun

Well I thought 5'7" would be tall for a woman at least. I thought the average was 5'3"?

The shorts will stay. I like them. Very comfy and I think they look good.

Trying the polo then.
It's just a little bit tight over my shoulders. Not so that it feels tight, it is quite comfortable, but there are a few wrinkles. Hmmm, isn't it a bit wide around the mid section? Trying on a male polo for reference...but that one is also just a little bit wide. Sure, the male polo is a wee bit tighter at the waist, but there's not much difference.
The big differences are that the women's polo is 5 cm shorter and the fabric is lighter and softer than my reference male polo. But for the ones I just bought, the fabric is the same in men's and women's model.

We might have a case of biased eyes here 😉. There is a bit of a different fit. The women's polo is shorter. But the differences are small-ish. And when not tucking the polo, the women's actually has a better length.
I think the polos will stay.
