hey here’s something to chew on for a minute

sometimes i get really overwhelmed and confused at the sheer amount of people on this website who claim to be in favour of breaking down gendered stereotypes and breaking the binary down as much as possible but like will then turn around and go to war with pitchforks and torches when a trans man decides he wants to wear a skirt for a day or a trans woman feels like wearing a polo and slacks

like i think it’s important to remember, if you really do want to make a marked effort in smashing the gender binary, that clothes are just chunks of fabric we cover our junk with. if you are wearing what you feel most comfortable in, that’s all you need to do. you don’t need to comment on the clothing choices of others.

a trans man wearing a sundress is not a traitor or a slave to the gender binary despite having transitioned. a trans man in a sundress is a man who likes to feel the wind between his knees because frankly it feels awesome and sundresses are super cute.

a trans woman choosing to wear sharp tailored suit is not detransitioning, she is probably wearing it because it looks super good and has nice clean lines and makes her feel like a badass.

a nonbinary person who wears both dresses and skirts and rompers and heels as well as jeans and button ups and sneakers is not “confused”, they probably just have really dope fashion sense and enjoy having a wide variety of options because there is nothing they feel uncomfortable in.

fashion is such a personal thing. it can be a political statement, and it can shove us into pigeonholes, but it doesn’t always have to be.
