#but inevitably women's shit is like. scoopnecks (so you lose a ton of heat in addition to the Femininity of It All) in colors i don't like

i've vaguely been eyeing merino tees/baselayers for fall/winter cycling purposes and as with all intended-to-be-fitted clothing the question has arisen: what will bug me more, weird bagginess or a too-feminine cut

(spoiler: the answer is almost definitely 'a too-feminine cut' but like. would love a scenario where there was an actual win condition instead of just the lesser of two evils!)

#like i could probably wear a very plain ~women's specific design~ and stand it #but inevitably women's shit is like. scoopnecks (so you lose a ton of heat in addition to the Femininity of It All) in colors i don't like #(though like. shoutout to ibex for doing better in that regard!) #and they assume you don't have shoulders to speak of and you want yr arms squeezed into sausage casings #so like. i think i've answered my own question‚ lol #but it IS nicer to sweat into things that aren't flopping around on you ime! #and mostly with men's stuff i'm sort of hovering awkwardly between an XS and an S‚ which like. when yr line runs large and there *is* no XS… #anyway everything's v expensive so i'll prolly punt on the question a bit longer and keep wearing the ill-fitting synthetics i already have #but like. mutter grumble scrunchy nose. #wld love not to always have 2 overthink clothing but unfortunately. the trans/nb/gnc experience. #sartorial #mundanities
