Hi there, I'm a trans man and just separated all winter clothes that are too undeniably feminine for me. They're the large pile on this picture, which should have ten or so sweaters. However I'm fairly petite, I have 161cm and slim shoulders. I wear S size (with some XS or M sprinkled in). I'm not sure transfem shelters would need such small clothing and I've been thinking in giving them to other shelters instead (but not thrift stores). Thoughts?

You should definitely call local shelters and ask! I'm a lot larger than you (~183cm) and for some brands an S is still correct for certain tops. I know plenty of transfem and nb that are on the smaller side too!

Thank you for your answer. In the end I'll give them to an acquantaince who is roughly my size. The spares I'll probably store until next year or give to the first shelter that needs them because I'll be on vacation soon.

There are a bunch of small and/or young transfeminine people, they might be interested :)
