    I am not a woman, but I am a trans man, which he knew as part of my medical history. I have considered if that was a factor, but I am honestly chalking it up to general incompetence given his explanations of criteria and what he would consider an acceptable answer.

    For example, me having sensory issues that lead to me sometimes being unable to wear socks didn’t count because I was able to wear different types of socks, and even prefer different types depending on the day. According to him, I would need to have a single, strong preference for a type of sock. According to everyone else I have asked about it, the point of the question is that neurotypical people don’t have days where they can’t wear a certain sock or they will be unable to focus on anything else until they take it off.

      Ugh is it those socks that feel weird/tight around the toes? I have one pair that has a very cool design (goats) but they feel tight around the toes and I just nyaagh

      [edit] Also, all praise for the HEMA (Dutch underwear/household shop) for printing the size info in the back of the shirt instead of attaching those fucking labels.
