I lean masc in my presentation, but that’s an overcompensation because of my AGAB. Genuinely? I kinda envy AMAB enbies a little, since even a touch of femininity is enough to make people look twice. For AFAB enbies, I have to lean hard into masc territory, and I still get she/her.
We’re both valid. But I wish the society we lived in didn’t get so hung up on gender in the first place.
Right?? Maybe that’s Western gaze, and there are cues we just don’t pick up on as easily visually. But damn, I wish I could pull off such effortless androgyny.
Ooooh felt, sibling 😬 I sometimes manage to get “he” or a little confusion when out and about until I open my mouth, but yeah that all goes out the window if I dare to wear a hint of eyeliner or a necklace.
Short of going on T (which I’m wary bc I’m on other meds that I don’t want to reassess) and growing a beard, which, to be honest would be cool for me, I’m at a loss. Society is annoying with gender 🥲
Friend, fuckin’ same.

bit unhinged opinion incoming of me but ngl i feel envy for k-pop stars for that reason. they appear to look androgynous with seemingly little effort.
i actually desire to look more fem, but it’s the apparent ease of looking a particular way that makes me envious of those stars, tbh.
