Am I this big of a clown? Did I fuck myself for an aesthetic? Was I really so close to not passing that a loss of long hair was what did it?
lmao yea I kinda shot myself in the foot passing wise too cutting my hair short and femboyish, but I'd rather look cute and express myself how I like than pass. If you prioritize passing over self expression, then just grow it out, once it gets to your shoulders you should be getting gendered female frequently again. Maybe try biotin or something.
lol I thought this was going to be a time travel green text

post pic for ref But what would you expect with a mohawk
Sebastian Lopez
Congrats you're getting misgendered because you're a tomboy and not because you look like a man desu. The cis normies love to gender anyone who looks like a dyke as male
Mason Cooper
SELF BEAMED LMAO
Michael Evans
what does beamed mean
Bentley Davis
They dont, dont hugbox her. I'm a cis tomboy and have never been gendered male in the past 10 years, other than maybe 5 occasions, presumably by mistake by someone whose mind was completely elsewhere and looked at me for less than 2 seconds.
Nathaniel Adams
why would you do this to yourself, punk women look ugly as fuck like dykes usually
Dominic Williams
lol kids this days beamed theyselfs
Lincoln Walker
I kinda am a dyke and I got tired of being a normie flannel and jeans girl, wanted to spice things up and express myself y'know?

Me in a timeline where I get the confidence to attempt this

Punk dykes are cis hons, on purpose. I get the need for self expression, and sure, you're young and not jaded enough to see punk aesthetic as unbelievably cringe. You really clowned yourself. But please don't be too harsh on yourself, either. It just means that you look like some gender neutral goblin.
I only care about not making myself cringe. I don't care about being cringe. >I'm okay being a goblin I just wanna not be seen as a guy. you must understand that people basically just flip a coin because you are a goblin. It means that sometimes people refer to you as a guy, sure. But it doesn't mean people see you as a guy, if that makes you feel any better.

>Was I really so close to not passing that a loss of long hair was what did it? every MTF is one small misstep away from being 80% clockable. at all times.
Jace Jenkins
tbf long hair is a big indicator, not a small misstep

>you're young and not jaded enough to see punk aesthetic as unbelievably cringe. why is this? i used to think it looked so cool and now i feel liek its just the fashion equivalent of "i was just pretending to be retarded"
Connor Collins
I don't have a definitive answer to that, but 90% of punk trappings have exactly 0 intrinsic value. It's basically the anti-authoritarian flavor of "owning the libs". Eventually it dawns on them that all that edge means absolutely nothing to a functioning adult. Most of punk simply dies in the face of just how uncaring reality is.
