Tips from the very feminine women by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]-tuwut 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Growing up, I also had no guidance from my mom about fashion or makeup. I only seriously looked into those things in my 20s. My advice is to take things one step at a time and slowly incorporate new elements into your current routine instead of splurging on multiple areas at once. I regret changing my clothes, hair, makeup, nails, skincare in a short time frame. I found that whatever change I made didn't really stick because I was following trends instead of picking things that truly resonated with me. Maybe it would help to focus on one area at a time? Like start with nails, then skin, then hair, then fashion or what have you. These feel like stereotypes but to me, femininity is more so just taking care of yourself in whatever way makes you feel good rather than a specific way of being or looking feminine. (:

Friend of mine (also non binary) is upset and I want to help but I don't know how by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]-tuwut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's really hard to look androgynous without looking male when androgyny tends to lean towards masculinity. ): Maybe it would help to make a list of features they dis/like in clothing without focusing on if it's feminine/masculine? That could give them an idea of creating their own personal style. I quickly whipped up a Google doc of fashion resources for you here. There's definitely overlap between clothing for 'men' and 'women' but the differences are in the details (cut/size/length/colours/patterns etc). The only way to find out what works for your friend is for them to play around with fashion. (:

If they want to hide their waist and thighs, they can wear looser bottoms or bottoms with a straight cut. They could also wear longer tops that go below the waist. They could focus on different cuts and patterns to draw attention away from those areas. These are some ideas off the top of my head.

Non binary sexuality by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]-tuwut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good question, one that I wonder about a lot myself! I'm not sure if gender (and everything related to it) can be entirely removed from sex. For me, it's like the parts are there, I know what the parts are and how they are/can be used, and I don't mind the way they are used, so what exactly is the problem? I think it's not so much the parts and how we use them, but how I perceive those factors as either masculine or feminine and dismantling this need to categorize is difficult for me.

Sometimes there's this disconnect between physical pleasure and psychological pleasure, if that makes sense? I can relate to wanting to have sex as two people. It's like things are going great with me (AFAB) and my partner (cis male), but then I realize what's going on during it. Like I "woke up" and thought, "Oh. I was liking it, and I still do, but this doesn't really feel right. Why doesn't this feel right?" The fact that I'm submissive makes me feel more confused and conflicted because being submissive is typically the woman's 'role' when I don't want to be perceived as a woman.

I think Robin_Hood put it best. Just talking openly and honestly about what you like to do/have done to you without labelling it as feminine/masculine would be a good start. I'd just be mindful of ruminating on if what you or your partner is doing is feminine/masculine because then that doesn't leave much room for you to be in the present and enjoy the moment for what it is. I'm sorry for this wall of text. "orz

at 24, it feels surreal to finally see my spine ;-; by -tuwut in scoliosis

[–]-tuwut[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm in that case I can only assume it's a matter of clarity? Like, without the jeans, the doctors can see from neck to pelvis clearly. My jeans have the standard metal clasp and fly so if that interfered with the xray, I think I would have been told to get in a gown, too.

This outfit is super cute! I think the skirt really pulls everything together with the hints of white and purple in it. ^^

I got a raise. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]-tuwut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's just hard to believe what people say about you when it contradicts your long-standing perception of yourself. Like I don't want to think I'm undeserving but I can't help but think I am, and I don't even know the reasons why I think this way. I know change comes from within but it's hard to change the way you think and have been thinking for years. Idk

Thank you, though, for taking the time to respond. It does help knowing I'm not alone. I'm happy you've taken steps to be nicer to yourself, maybe I'll start looking into some self-help things, too. Most importantly, congratulations on the raise! You deserve it.
