I wish every cis person in this world could understand that it is genuinely safe and okay to experiment a little with queering your gender, even if the end result is &quot;Yep, I&#39;m still comfortable as what I already am.&quot; You&#39;ve let yourself into the playground of identity liberation, and decided you&#39;re comfy watching the queer kids play while you walk laps around the edge. There&#39;s nothing wrong with that!

@dragonarchitect dresses are so pretty and comfy, I wish more were designed with masculine proportions in mind

@dragonarchitect whenever i think of this, the only thing i can think of is that transgender people get discriminated very often from bigots in many ways, both overt and covert. the main thing preventing me from experimenting even a little with expression irl is the thought that i will start experiencing those kinds of microaggressions too, plus major covert institutional discrimination that could seriously impact my chance at finding a job. life sucks when people are debating your validity.

@dragonarchitect I mean The way you put this, sounds like it's still "less exploring" to decide your gender was mostly right in the first place. It is not!! It is not any kind of "oh if you just went out and swam with everyone else you would wind up trans". That's not how it works. You probably didn't mean to come across that way, I just, yeah.

@dragonarchitect if this man who eventually ended up happily married to a very beautiful supermodel could do it in the 1970s, I’m sure there’s others too:
