Love the drinks, such a cool detail. :)

This is amazing, thank you for sharing! I’m nonbinary and I’ve been looking for ways to present more masc without looking stupid for ages. Reading this was super helpful, I know what I’ll be paying attention to during my next shopping trip now. :)

Exactly! I totally agree with you on the sizes and fits, and they just don’t make cute dresses and skirts for men. So aside from it being frowned upon, it’s not even easy to access fitting clothes like this for men. Thanks for adding this excellent point :)

There being such a small market for lingerie for men and such a big market for lingerie for women is a direct result of heteronormativity and gender norms in my opinion. It’s not a coincidence.

Clothes. It seems crazy to me that men (and often masc presenting enbies too for that matter) can’t just wear a dress on a hot summer day without getting weird looks. Or just to feel pretty honestly. Why is something that’s about both practicality and self-expression so fundamentally restricted by what genitals you were born with in the eyes of society?

Also, speaking of clothes: lingerie. I have rarely ever seen lingerie designed for men, and even the one that exists seems not nearly as carefully designed as lingerie for women. This makes me sad, it feels like society does not want them to feel pretty and sexy and it’s also just unfair to everyone.

(I am focusing mostly on men / masc enbies here because I always had the experience that women wearing “men’s clothes” is waaay more accepted nowadays, but feel free to correct me and chime in with your own examples if you disagree!)

I didn’t really sit down and choose a name, it was given to me. Some friends started calling me by a shorter version of my deadname and I really liked the vibe of it, so I started going by it.
