I am desperate for colorful Big & Tall wear for husband. The man just wants to dress like a living crayon box, and all the affordable stuff is black, charcoal, and navy.
@heathen_cat
Maybe some colour accessories would help? -

Like, bruh, you can wear colors—you'll still be just as cishet as you were yesterday.
@alice
I found a violently pink button-up shirt at a thrift store.I've never really been worried about whether my clothes were masculine or feminine, unless I was going to a party and wanted to look cute, but with this shirt I'm a bit worried about causing vision damage.

@alice
This was an epiphany in my late 20s/ early 30s. I'm still as cishet as I was, but I can just discard performative stuff if I don't enjoy them. -

Can confirm that this still works when a man's in his sixties.

@alice My son works at a deli, and he says the number of angry white people that come in is through the roof now.
They may have woke to the fact colors, weren't really their problem. -

> No! I must wear a spectrum of beige with vague US constitutional quotes surrounding a Punisher logo in order to make sure that my masculinity is on display!

@alice patterns and novel styles, too.

@alice LOL i forget where i read it the other day but the like "desperation to be *noticed*"... funny and tragic
@mpc3032at what's funny and tragic about wanting to be noticed?

@alice *Sigh*
I’ve been called gay on LinkedIn just because my brand/website uses a colorful muted palette.
Let’s leave aside the fact that “gay” is being used as an insult.

It's the ones that can leave cishet behind, but not the binary that bother me. Still trapped by dominance and power. -

@alice Some people with a time machine would try to avert some catastrophe or another. I’d just make sure nobody pays attention to Beau Brummell

@alice@lgbtqia.space Are you sure?
Because if there are feminizing/transing colors or clothes I would like to know so I can equip myself properly -

@alice You mean this guy wasn't turned gay by wearing a pink armor?

@alice was thinking about the very loud shirts and socks and dresses i often see bro-types wearing, that look playful and fun, but when you talk to them, super unpleasant vibes
to me the darkfunny/tragedy is the overall cultural situation that doesn't give consistent validation / attention and space for peeps to be themselves... instead e.g. locked-down business drone some of the time, and then wiiiild and waaacky golf shirt Fun Guy gets smushed out
but without that framing, tho, nothing wrong
