$50 is nowhere near enough but it's FAR better than $0. The amount of rage I feel every time I hear the news is...I can't even. Anyways, if you can help please help! These government benefits are already so restricted to such a small group of poor people. In 2015, when I was homeless (couch surfing) and making only $12/hr part-time, the government gave my a whopping $16/mo in SNAP and then said I made TOO MUCH money to qualify for Medicaid.
Please help. That's how poor you have to be to even qualify and now these folks don't even have that.

TL/DR: Yelling into the void about the lack of and *truly* → SOLELY for humans with . Someone hear my call! This is 2025 FFS! This should exist!
Here's where my post initially got started in my mind. There's an online clothing store I looked at today. The chart is fairly standard for cis women's clothing. *Caveat: we know and vary widely.* Here's the -chronic- problem I've had since Freshmen year of high school (same issue even now when I'm much girthy-er). On this chart: My bust is Medium, my waist is Large/Extra Large, and my hips are 1X. FFS, it is 2025!! WHY isn't there a clothing line that caters to my ?!
And here's where my mind quickly went to for the UMTEENTH time in my adult life:
This shop is "By Women For Women". As much as I absolutely LOVE this as a cis woman (since we all know mostly cis men are designing our ) why can't it be ?! Why does the overtly advertised " " stop at 3x and where is the sizing for different heights (not just girth)?!
Some **na owners and former va**na owners (VOAFVO) don't have an hourglass frame and aren't 5'3"-5'9". Some ***s owners and former p***se owners (POAFPO) don't have a boxy frame and aren't 5'9"-6'2". Why do I see sizing (combining brands) ranging from XXS-8X but I DON'T see XXShort, XShort, Short, Regular, Tall, XTall, XXTall? Some VOAFVO don't like "feminine" colors, dresses, sleeveless shirts, short shorts and capris, lingerie, lace and ruffles, lots of pockets, standard bras, "panties" (*groans* can we just call it underwear?!) and form-fitting clothes—some POAFPO do. And visa versa for "masculine" colors, t-shirts and long sleeves only, knee length shorts and full length pants only, boxers and tank tops only, no frills and sturdier fabrics, lots of deep pockets, and relaxed fit clothes.
About 19-20 years ago, I joked (tipsy) with my boyfriend back then that I wanted to start a clothing line called Pears - catering ***SOLELY*** to bodies that are pear-shaped. I also wanted to make it gender NEUTRAL and TRULY size inclusive. WHY is this not a thing?!?! I'm no whatsoever and have very little , so it's never coming from me. Here's my idea. SOMEONE TAKE IT, PLEASE! 😆 LOL!!
The store should be called and cater solely to pear-shaped bodies. I want (" ") and (" ") departments. BOTH should be TRULY size inclusive for EVERY piece of clothing → XXS-8X and XXShort-XXTall. BOTH sides of the store should offer clothes in all colors (e.g. you want Squares slacks in fuchsia and flowers printed boxers? DONE!)
Someone else should tackle the problem: Come up with a clever store name and stick with the Circles and Squares departments.
