MODERATORS
It's okay! I've been doing this for years and started in bumfuck nowhere and lemme tell you: nobody cares. Just go grab a medium or so sports bra and check it out, no words needed, nobody will care. Not even those conservative white women with nothing better to do than shop.
I get that. I'm really not far from bumfuck nowhere. It's a safer place, but only a little, and outside its definitely red country. I get that nobody pays attention or cares for the most part, or even assumes it's for someone else. I think it's internalized oppress of multiple flavors. I might want to do something, but there's some fighting going inside, if that makes sense.
Get a trans friend to help you do it then, or just a gender bender friendly friend. Or keep my voice in your head, saying "DO IT NERD!!!!"
I will say, I was looking at my getting too long nails thinking about how to deal with them and then thought "Nah that's too obviously feminine too quick, and I'm not ready for questions or comments" and then I heard "DO IT NERD!!!!" 🤣
So thanks for the laugh at least
