   Holy shit. I just talked a cis guy on the internet down from "Let kids be kids" and got him to see why gender-affirming care for teens absolutely cannot wait.

   This is one of my greatest achievements. I have a legitimate urge to take a victory lap.

     @AT1ST @Impossible_PhD Pleaser's been around for a long time now. They're probably most known for "stripper shoes", but they've got styles that run the gamut from fetish to cosplay to vintage to completely mundane everyday stuff.

     ETA: I own those ankle boots, they're the first pair I got. Very comfortable and I can wear them almost all day. (Not *all* day because my feet are weird, not because they're bad shoes.)

     @Impossible_PhD @shaggyzed I don't think I've ever seen Pleasers shoes, but the way you've described them in that post, I'm guessing they turn the "annoying repetitive jokes" from one end of the spectrum to the other end of the spectrum.

     Which is hard to resolve because there's just the one brand trying to be the Spinal Tap of shoe making.

     @Impossible_PhD Damn. That was frikkin' *perfect*. And I feel that description so much, *especially* about shoe sizes. I'm a 14 in women's sizing. I have *three* pairs of Pleasers, only one of which really fit me properly. Sigh. :blobcatcry: :blobcatangry:

     @shaggyzed SERIOUSLY I like pleasers for, erm, certain things, but they feel weird to wear going into work or whatever.
