A bit too warm in Sweden this month for suits. Casual day while on vacation.

Oh right.

Yeah I dunno, I’ve identified as non binary/trans for uhh 4-5 years? I think I’d mentioned this a bunch of times on some CM threads, so I wasn’t in the closet per se, but I just kept dressing/presenting “normal” because it’s easier, but then it was making me want to kill myself, and it got kinda close one time, so I finally got on HRT and now I’m happy or something, not to be super dramatic about it.

I still really like tailoring secretly, but until/unless I can be a woman wearing menswear, I think I’m done with that chapter of my life for the most part. I think I used to obsess over menswear stuff because the details distracted me from the fact that none of it was quite right, while letting me feel like I’m doing something about it. But yeah, clothes make me more happy than anxious now, which is nice.

Thanks for sharing. I’m glad you are more comfortable and having fun— that’s what matters in the end. It totally makes sense and it’s not dramatic at all. Happy for you!

I haven’t worn non-laced boots in so long, it feels like I’m doing Lil Nas X cosplay (who’s, in turn, cosplaying cowboys).
