A picture of colorful compression socks. A caption at the tops says “Compression socks”. A caption at the bottom says “When you are definitely cis but of a certain age”.

      Compression socks are an “old people thing” (not necessarily*, but the association is there). So older trans people can easily buy themselves colorful, thigh-high compression socks and don’t even need to explain why.

      *Actually compression jobs are great for people working desk jobs, because they prevent legs/feet from swelling during long hours.
