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 unless you're a witch. Then you shall wear midnight.

@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.

@lyrial @alice

How else will people know I can't get an erecting without the help of internet porn? - same idiots.

It's okay to see a doctor if this pertains to you.

@mpc3032at what's funny and tragic about wanting to be noticed?

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

@iscarlosmolero @alice I was called gay once because I had a red phone

@klegdixal @alice what if you're a gay witch?

@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 I hear you, but consider: ska

[angelicaura@transfem.social]

@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

[mathieup@mastodon.gougere.fr]

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

[mpc3032at@mastodon.social]

@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

@pecet if you like black, it's okay to wear black too; my girlfriend wears a lot of black (but also a lot of purple ).
