I am tall and plus sized and it is a nightmare to know what size I am supposed to be of anything. I am anywhere from a size UK 12 to UK 18 depending on the brand / item etc.

Ya know, one piece of legislation I’d absolutely support?
Mandatory use of standard measuring units for clothing sizes. Metric or Freedom Units, I can’t care which, as long as it’s objective.
Women’s sizes are the absolute worst offenders. They’re entirely subjective, which defeats the purpose of having measurements at all. Even sized? Odd sized? Some are “misses” and some are “missus?” What the fuck.
They have actual dimensions which can be measured objectively, and that’s what we should be doing. Gods know the marketing assholes don’t *also* need a bullshit, made up sizing system to fuck with women’s heads even more.
Shoe sizes, you’re next. A shoe is so many units long and so many wide. You don’t even need to differentiate between kids sizes, men’s or women’s shoe sizes. It’s just…the shoe is 9 inches long or whatever. That’s all you should need to know to pick shoes to try on.
And this Small/Medium/Large/XL t shirt size bullshit? Come on. Width at the shoulders and length should be what we need to know, right?
Pants…*somehow* blue jeans *already use inches,* and they sell just fine.
Fuck, man. This isn’t a goddam differential equation class. It’s just, objects have dimensions, as so people. We should be able to measure ourselves and immediately find garments of compatible dimensions. It’s 2024 for fuck’s sake.
