What's the actual point of coming out trans if your family continue to buy you the wrong clothes?
Maybe you didn't make your intent obvious enough?
It's prompted me to sit here thinking. Safety from myself aside.. why would one choose to sleep on the street when one has a home to sleep in? I just realised that I'm probably no safer from myself and now I'm hours away from home. Ugh.. I'm so peeved at myself for making dumb decisions.

I should've said 'I'm trans, I'm not a fem boy' maybe? Rather than just assuming she'd treat me like any other guy my height & go to the boy section of the shop...?
But surely most trans guys aren't fem boys. It would be a weird thing to come out about then go on as before. Not that I was ever into that kind of girly clothes. She just liked it and cos it was in my size she bought it for me imo.
Clothes has always been an issue between us. She always gets me it. Because I make the mistake of admiring her style. That doesn't mean I want to dress like a lady in her 50s, it just means that as far as ladies in their 50s go, she has good dress sense and I admire that. Not much different to how I admire how my granddad dressed in the 50s but I don't want to look like Fred Astaire myself.
I specifically told her to get art materials. She got that 'wrong' but that's understandable cos I did my own pet peeve - vague language. Both paints AND pens are art materials. Just one of them is easier in a house I'm trying to keep clean for guests compared to the other, she's not to know that.
She made the mistake of not understanding that I do not mind second hand gifts. So she bought me additional stuff and she didn't have to. I would have been happy with the paints.

Another thing that's annoying me is - why do people who are told someone is doing something in the common year or did something within the last year (March onwards) were doing/will be doing something which is affected by Covid? It will be different to things done before that or after we get the vaccine. This means that motivations behind things will be different & how people go about things will be different.
