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?
I'll have to check out some newer Against Me!, Last I remembered was Teenage Anarchist and always liked that song. Not surprised there's not much out there like popg0th lmao. I've heard of Kim Petras but have not actually heard her music (except for Unholy which is pretty dope) so I'll have to check out more of her stuff. I still have to play Celeste lol. I tend to suck at finding new music.
