Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Also, I've seen some stores indicate what sizes their models are wearing and it doesn't always seem accurate. I have no idea what reason they'd have to lie about that though.
Part of the problem may be that sizing isn't standardized, even within individual countries, not to mention worldwide. A size 0 in one place is a size 4 in another, that kind of thing. You have to go by measurements, not by arbitrary size indications.
I can tell you from an older (than me) person who has gifted me gently used from their closet: one store's size 4 is another store's 12. This can even happen in the same label and it drives me bananas.
You think it would be in their best interest to provide accurate size charts!
