I'm mid 20's and male-to-female transgender for about 6 years now. In good shape, average height, average sizes. Obviously fat has migrated over that time to give me a more feminine shape. I migrated entirely to Women's clothing like jeans and t-shirts a few years ago, I have dresses, skirts, etc, but most of it is really bland casual clothing for lounging around or going to work (no dress code at all), however I have way more options, all kinds of colors, all kinds of textures, all kinds of cuts, all kinds of patterns, everything feels absolutely amazing. I am so comfy in jeans now that I can sleep in them with no issues. I don't really pass well, but nobody has ever said anything to me negatively wearing a flowery women's cut long sleeve shirt and tight women's jeans that make my butt look wonderful. If anything, I feel much more stylish and totally physically comfortable now. Even bras aren't bad and I don't understand why they're always hurting women so much :D Regarding pockets, I just carry a backpack with my laptop now. Phone in back pocket, tiny wallet for cards that fits in my front pocket. I will never buy women's jeans with really tiny pockets, but I feel like most retailers have figured out an acceptable size. Who even likes heavy jeans carrying around so much? Mens clothes may have changed by now, but I remember them being stiff, feeling bad unless you paid a lot of money (not a problem for women's clothing!), having limited neutral colors with no patterns except thin stripes. I'm so happy we're coming to a point where we can get rid of gender standards for what fabric people are allowed to wear on their bodies enforced by society.

Regarding bras: If you had your boobs made, they're probably pretty close to the exact location and proportions that bra makers expect. But if your boobs are broad rather than projecting; or set closer or further apart than the typical bra in your size... underwire pokes in all the wrong places. (Don't get me started on all the assumptions built into women's clothing and bra sizing.) Plus if you've got an extra layer of fat on your torso or wear it too tight, the band can dig into your skin. If your band is too loose and you have big boobs, the weight falls onto the straps and hurts your shoulders. That said, a lot of women who find their bras painful are wearing the wrong size.

  Mine are natural from years of estrogen, though I probably have a wider chest. Getting properly sized bras I don't even notice they're there anymore. If I get one that isn't sized right, it can actually leave bruises and make me want to scream during the day. I have also heard a lot of women are wearing incorrectly sized bras.
