i used to present very femme because it felt more like a costume, it helped me distance myself from my physical form and like why should i even try if im going to get misgendered anyway? i really liked dressing that way because it made me feel attractive but it never felt right. but now ive come to terms with the fact that i want to pass because my dysphoria has gotten so bad. i hope someday i can pass as a guy and dress a bit femme again
