I ant believe it’s the 6 year anniversary of the time the world’s most boring make up look made me passively question my gender presentation for nearly a full year

I remember being incredibly shocked by how much I enjoyed looking less feminine, especially compared to the ups & downs I was experiencing in my self-image at the time. Idk s/t about the hair/make up combo made me realise I was allowed to like how I looked even if it wasn’t girly

I’ve always vibed with the idea that cis people should still be active in looking at their gender identity/presentation bc if nothing else it makes you call into question your held beliefs about what’s femme and what’s masc and what that actually means

This thread isn’t really going anywhere, I just think this photo’s neat and I still think about it sometimes, when I’m vibing with things like my sharp jaw and high cheekbones and “deeper” voice. I’m still a cis woman but the way I relate to that changed a bit after this photo
