One of the problems that I have with my body is that I don't have the hips to wear certain garments. When the above dress was new, I looked OK from the top up. But my hips left a lot to be desired. I had no natural curves. This dress has long since been retired, and yet, I'll always have the same problem as I did several years ago - my hips are not wide enough to meet the proportions of a typical woman of my age and size.

Over the years, I have learned to dress appropriately for a woman my age. And that includes wearing more traditionally masculine garments such as trousers. But I prefer to wear the feminine versions of these garments. Over time, for example, I have grown to feel much more comfortable carrying a handbag and not looking for items in my pockets. So it has now become strange for me to wear any garments with pockets, save when I'm in Mario mode. And, about the only time I've been in Mario mode these days is when I see my internist, my dates, and my family. On these days, the feeling of male garments is noticeably different that what I normally wear during the week.
The other day, one woman started to ask me about the women in my wife - as if she needed a scorecard to keep them straight. But then, I am very unusual, as I am a genetic male who finds females more interesting to have as friends than to have as bed partners. And, if I had my choice, I would have been born as a cisgender female, so that I could partake of the richness of emotional experiences open to women. This comes at a big price, and no one should forget it. Females are often ignored because of their gender. They are bullied (or worse) by males, as they have less body and muscle mass. And they have all the major headaches of reproduction. Cisgender males have no idea how easy it is for them....
With all that being said, right now, I simply wish I had nice hips, so that my clothes would look better on me.
