Looking for help with clothes (fedia.io)

Hey everyone, I'm new to all of this and I'm still trying to figure things out. Maybe a year or so ago my egg cracked and I've been trying to figure out what to do about it. I've got a therapist in talking to and she's great. My wife has been struggling a bit with a lot of the stuff I'm going through but is trying to be supportive. I also want to take her comfort into account with anything I do.

My therapist talked about maybe making a list of clothes that might lean more to either extreme end of the gender spectrum and maybe talking to my wife about how comfortable she is with me trying those things, but I don't really even know where to start on that list. I feel like I have no idea what kinda stuff to wear. Do any of you have any suggestions?

I was shocked to find out my 5'4" wife and my 6'4" ass are often in the same size range for women's clothes. As soon as we did find that out, she started throwing stuff she didn't want anymore at me to try and see if I wanted it. It also helped me narrow down what i was comfortable with wearing. Going out in it was a whole different molehill, but I settled on leggings and a v neck or tank as my go to real quick. Your wife's unwanted clothes might be a place to start if you happen to wear a similar size and she has any and she's comfortable with it.
