It& #39;s weird that aesthetic is spoken about like it& #39;s a personality trait for *every*one. Some days I want to be punk some days I look like a cargo shorts dad and some days I want to wear the strawberry dress and I don& #39;t think this is like... fringe
This might seem like a silly thing to post about, but it& #39;s given me a few personality/identity crises over the years? And I don& #39;t know why because it& #39;s just clothes
It also gets all wrapped up in how butch or fem I am as a bi woman and the fact that I lean toward identifying with some posts about looking masc while knowing that I& #39;m also completely at home in dresses. And anyway this is the smallest problem in the world but this post is [1/2]
my final step in shedding that weirdness I impose on myself. Which boils down to "oh I& #39;m just not the people who are butch or fem," something that was never my business. (but it& #39;s very cool & at home to step back and cheer for you all from the sidelines) [2/2]
Anyway if anyone gets weird at butches/femmes in the notes of this post it& #39;s a block on sight, this post is about self-imposed nonsense by a person who has OCD? Not all problems I have are caused by other people existing, please leave
"notes"
Ah I see the problem I was afraid of and it& #39;s that two minutes ago in the OG post I said "is spoken about." Anyway that& #39;s how I talk in my head about things my brain considers societal, but that are actually my own thing to work out. Knew I& #39;d done something off-key here
Is it probably important that the internet learn to react to someone& #39;s presence like it& #39;s chill for them to change day to day without making it an Entire To-Do: probably, but I think this is one of those places where I& #39;m afraid of societal reactions based on like. three outliers
I get weird looks and probably lowered rates of people-wanting-to-hire-me based on the fact that I sometimes show up looking masc and sometimes don& #39;t but I think most people in the world are like oh that& #39;s how [real name] is. it& #39;s refreshing to 80% of them and weird to like. two
I think this thread is basically a diary entry but I also don& #39;t think I& #39;ve done anything offensive and DO think it has a chance of being helpful so I& #39;m leaving it up? I enjoy the concept of it existing permanently? Don& #39;t make me regret this
Originally this thread also had a joke in it about how much I appreciate autpunk and why but I think that& #39;s a post for another time
