Had Hayden the TSA pooner yesterday - classic in every way. But like my Hon the flight attendant earlier this week, Hayden was very pleasant - jolly, even!
The only surly trans I've seen recently were arty college students -
who were more shoegazers than outright surly, and no different in that regard than at least half of any other kind of student - 99% were either benignly unengaged, scowling at the floor, or palpably uncomfortable. Weird, man. I think [COVID + internet] has severely fucked Da Yoot.
If you're wearing boots, why do you need
low sneaker socks? I think I'm reading too closely, but I'd think you could wear any ankle sock and it wouldn't show. I'd be in a high a sock as I could get away with!
But as for wearing them with heels, peds cut low enough to barely come up over the toe/heel/sides could help a little, depending on cut of shoe.
Another trick: put the ped (or some kind of sole-only pad) on
before netted stockings. Even a doubled piece of fabric on the sole is a buffer for the types of netted hose that might have knots or otherwise be painful.
And if jamming them in pointy toed shoes that are tight on top/that will rub blisters, put on some prophylactic bandaids or something like
these to put some space/softness between you and the shoe.
