Found this post thanks to @kasdeya@cryptid.cafe who posted it three years ago on her old timeline. Somebody boosted it on mine today and I knew I had to post it here.
⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER:
THIS IS A WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY & SPACE
See "Rule 1: Women only…
Trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them."
I’ve learned to see how I make myself look (or don’t) as self care. It all depends on my mood, my energy level, my expression on the sliding gender scale, etc. I’d be lying if I said I never “dress up” for others, like for professional reasons (I hate that I feel the need to), but the scenarios mentioned - its about how I’m feeling in that moment.
