tryna think through my presentation and aesthetic

the hangup i have is ... i occasionally like to dress extra femme (so i guess peacock swan re: the chart i just reblogged), but that’s really once in a blue moon. most days i’m in jeans and a tee, but they’re typically “girl” pants and shirts. because of work, i usually layer with cardigans, again from the “girl” side of the store. i have an off-the-wall hairstyle, but it’s pretty femme as well. plus, i do sometimes spice up my wardrobe with select overtly femme clothing items like the occasional skirt, blouse, or trousers. 

the big thing is ... i don’t really edit my natural body. there’s kinda no point in it for me, since the ideal for me is a completely genderless form. plus, my sensory issues make constrictive undergarments a big ole no-no. so, i don’t bind, i don’t reduce my thighs or butt, and i’m pretty fat so my chest, hips, and butt are kinda hard to miss. i occasionally pack, but that’s really it, and it’s not like i’m putting a huge bulge in there. 

so my thing is ... i feel like in terms of plain ol’ garments, my style is vaguely masc-of-center, but in terms of styling and appearance i feel like i’m squarely in femme territory. to me my style feels androgynous (again re: genderless style chart, somewhere between sparrow fox and crow fox), but is that really true??? 

TL;DR GENDER IS WEIRD AND HARD

also its so weird that Im going to college in a week. its cool cus Im kinda starting fresh, everyone I meet is going to meet me as my true self. no more hiding, no more of my mom being in the school so I cant ask teachers. nah Im gonna be me. Im gonna be my weird trans self and no one will know me as a female. Itll be something new. Im bad with change but Im workin on confidence. unfortunately still undecided on my name but I guess Ill stick to the same old until I figure it out.

I got a lot of cool masc clothes for school, Im gonna look sick af. my hair on the other hand is a modern mystery, but since Im starting anew I guess I can style it different for the first time. I want it to grow out cus my nb self thinks thats whatll look good, so Im just gonna keep it brushed back while its still mid length/kinda short. wont help me pass but hey Im not afraid to correct people. I gotta get to that long lumber jack/ surfer hair so I can escape into the woods.

you know Im so glad I came out as a transguy before I came out as nonbinary because it set up the way people perceive me in a way more favorable manner. if I had just come out and said Im nb, a lot of people would just assume Im female or going through a phase or those who cant quite grasp they/them pronouns would call me she. but since I came out as a guy first, the perception is more male first, the neutral. so if they can’t grasp they/them then Im called he/him or if theyre not sure about referring to me in neutral terms they use masculine ones and thats a lot better than have female be the pre-conception.

Ive been passing so well here 

when I went to the zoo one of the workers called me he, and when I went to the arch the security guy said “hey big fella, your hairs got a lot of personality!” and I thought that was so cool man achievement unlocked. It’s just funny cause Im small and thin but he called me big. 

sometimes though I wish I looked a little more obviously queer/trans cause I dont want to really be perceived as some cis/straight person. and it’d be great if I looked a little older too cause no one believes my age.
