Thinking about these pictures of me I discovered a few months ago

It was me at like age 6 in a long, flowing purple dress obviously just having lots of fun wearing it and moving around in it

I think my parents put me in it cuz they thought it was hilarious (cuz I was AMAB and in the "wrong" clothing) but I guess I was completely oblivious to that and just liked wearing it :3

Completely forgot about this until I found those pics lol

I only started seriously thinking about gender stuff until I joined Hexbear a few years ago (many such cases hexbear-spectertrans-specter) but maybe that experience had more of an effect than I can directly remember

I guess I'm still mostly male-presenting irl still (not really out of anything than it's "what's expected" of me) and I only just started telling people close to me irl that I wanna go by they/them pronouns but I think I want to try presenting more neutrally in general. I don't really know how though... I have the most boring generic nerd fashion sense too lol

And I ended up writing way more than I intended lol

Start shopping in the women's section. Tons of it is pretty gender neutral, but there's a much wider variety, and it's generally more fashionable than men's.

If you pick things that are form fitting or have patterns (as opposed to graphics), that will take you out of the masc presentation zone pretty quickly.

Careful, though. I used to be like you, but I'm now addicted to building out my wardrobe lea-smug

Lemme know if you want tips

I haven't looked through childhood photos in years, but don't think I'd find anything I'm not already aware of.

Like a decade ago, my sister was making a scrapbook for a school project. I didn't see the whole thing, but she made a point of showing one of the photos of me she included: me as a child wearing stuff like a plastic princess tiara and necklace and such (maybe she was implicitly asking for permission but worded it as a "I'm doing this"?). I greatly approved of that choice.

Took like another 8 years to realize I probably wasn't cis. I still haven't really come out to her (mostly just lack of opportunity), but kinda curious if she's suspected something long before me.
