Reply to comment by Eskarinastar in TIFU by not realizing how many clothes I had hoarded over the years by MistorMiss

Jumping in to say that there are MANY better places to donate clothing than goodwill. They're a pretty skeevy organization with a spotty record. If that's all that's available to you, then by all means, I'm not saying never donate or shop there. I WILL however emphasize how shitty the salvation army is and how they actively donate large sums to suppress LGBTQ+ rights.

If you can find an organization with local roots and it's not a logistical problem to get to them, please try to donate somewhere more socially responsible.

Another note is most clothing donation bins that you see are subsidized private organizations that often just dump or ship clothing overseas and very rarely if ever actually support communities or people in need.

Just do a quick Google for other options near you.

As a closet crossdresser, this story seems very familiar to me. I’ve also amassed an entire wardrobe for my other self and there are bags of clothes I no longer wear/I’ve grow out of style wise.

I also struggled with sizing and bought many things that did not fit right and didn’t know what to do with.

I don’t think anyone will question you at goodwill. You are donating clothes, they don’t necessarily need to be yours. You can say you are just dropping them off for someone. Either way, I’ve learned to stop caring so much about what others think. The only person who can make yourself happy is yourself; and that starts with loving yourself. Easier said than done

Reply to TIFU by calling my mom a bitch by onefootback

I don't know, this is really 50/50. on one hand, I don't agree with spanking but on another, you didn't do work and still expected to go out? I don't know about other people's parents, but you don't get rewarded for not doing work. again, I don't agree with your parents reaction to everything and from the way you describe your dad, they probably don't treat you that well but actions have consequences.

Man todays generation is in trouble if it can't figure out how to either throw out, recycle or donate old clothing and requires a multiple paragraph post to get the point across. We do not care that you cross dress man, we care that you are unable to figure out what to do here when its pretty simple stuff.

feel shame about the clothing? pack it up in garbage bags and say it was leftovers from your girlfriend or whatever or something and donate it to a good will as others have suggested.

Why get rid of it if it still fits and will fit? You will be out on your own one day and have all the room you want.

Maybe get rid of stuff you don't want anymore. But don't purge your stuff out of fear of everyone else (unless that fear is founded).

I mean it sounds like your family probably knows anyways if you really had THAT much stuff in such a tight space. Still hide it if you arn't ready but don't let your family ruin your fun and possible personal growth. It's none of their business if and until you come out and make it their business.

You are 28, a grown adult who can make their own choices, take that stress off and do you within reason :)

Reply to Tifu by assuming a kid has paint on her face by marshall105

Oh, don't worry. I've done much worse.

2 days ago a regular customer of ours comes into our restaurant with an eyepatch. Me being a dumbass I ask if he's getting ready for halloween. Nope, he tells me he lost the eye due to a hernia or some shit. Never been more embarassed in my life.
