...I wrote a long disclaimer for a post and now do not have the energy/spoons to write the post anymore.

Hate it when that happens. Saving the disclaimer to write the post another day. General synopsis: disconnect on personal (privileged) level regarding standards for women's clothing in UK, combined with own gender identity issues.

Also hate when the pharmacies close at 1 pm on Saturdays so I can't go get cough medicine. [sulks] Why are tissues so damn expensive here? It's not like other paper goods are pricey, and most other health/beauty products are reasonably or equally priced. (Except for contact solution, at which I am still boggling...£10 for 240 mL?)

I need special sizes, so I shop at a UK internet store. All the clothes are very femme, and there is a much higher proportion of skirts and dresses than in a typical Danish clothing store.

It would make sense for that particular store to cater to a clientèle who prefer femme clothing, but I find it odd and remarkable that there are no basic t-shirts available :-(

I find this true of the brick and mortar stores, too. (Oddly, there were some really nice things in the RL store that caters to my own size concern, I just can't afford them.)

Isn't that always so. Some people know the art of the capsule wardrobe, and can buy the really nice things on a small budget, but how they do it is a complete mystery to me.
