@skinnylatte<\/a> A frustration I find is that beyond casual fashion, things are typically so much more strongly gendered and it's necessary to make a lot of explicit choices about how one is going to differ from the rest of the world<\/p>

But also this may be a me problem, because I want even my \"lazy\" choices to feel deliberate and I have extremely strong feeling about how different pieces of clothing should fit.

@skinnylatte<\/a> Exploring fashion as part if gender non-conforming identities can be really fun and interesting. As a currently femme-presenting gender-fluid person, I always hated fashion too, but once I started to see how trans men and trans women approach fashion, as well as looking at icons like David Bowie or Annie Lennox, I've started to find 'looks' that work better for me.
