Any ideas to find trans friendly clothing stores near me? Live in a fairly conservative place but don’t really have access to online shopping. Idk, just want to actually try a dress on somewhere.
Sometimes a store will say on their website if they are LGBT friendly, or you can look up reviews on Google Maps
I’m guessing you live in the U.S.? Geez, what the fuck is wrong with that place, that you can’t just go shop wherever you want?
I guess Americans have a different definition of “freedom” than I do.
I started with fetish stores as they are used to it, and they always have good help for some reason.
Now I take a friend with me to try out new places. I’ve once had an angry looking lady so that’s pretty clear, but most of the time employees were vocal supporters.
Also conservative area.
That’s a good call, and I know there’s one next to the biggest queer bar in the province.
They often have stuff that’s not too crazy, like a nightdress and stockings.
So, by fetish store, is this like a “lingerie store” or what? What’s it called?
That’d be the stores which sell personal lubricants, sex toys, and clothes for any local strippers or social media models in your area. Naturally they’re a great place to find some out till dawn outfits and dangerous heels. Just don’t expect that you and a friend will be allowed into the changing room together!
Target is where I found my first dress. The staff were very friendly and helpful! Later a cis-ter and I went thrifting and found some cute stuff. That store even offered me a job working there :) After a few months I meet another trans woman working in the Target cosmetics and we became friends pretty quick! My city is pretty progressive and even a sanctuary but the state is terribly fascist. Try to be confident when you go and don’t stress too much! Anytime I need a confidence boost I’ll put on some fabulously femme trans music like popgoth’s A-Squad
I’ve been trying to find more femme trans music, any other suggestions? Gonna listen to this on my lunch bike ride.
Sorry to disappoint, but I don’t know of anyone else quite like popg0th to recommend. Maybe Ayesha Erotic? There’s Against Me!'s lead singer Laura Jane Grace, which is a fairly well regarded band. Kim Petras you’ve surely heard about right? She was the first solo out trans woman with a number one hit in the US. Celeste’s soundtrack was written by Lena Raine and she also wrote some of Minecraft’s as well. Have you found any others which you like?
do you have an h&m nearby? they’re a very open minded and accepting company and as such they attract that kind of talent
