Late night void shouting while I listen to music:
I feel like no matter how I try I always end up being coded as “guy”
I can put a ton of effort into my presentation and feel really proud and happy but get called a dude

Part of the reason I shaved my head was me giving up on the notion that long hair would push me away from getting duded
Turns out that was a lie. I got called a guy just as much as I did a woman, if not more even without talking

The whole reason I’m so concerned is that I’ve been trying to grow this Twitter and I’ve gotten no where, and any post with my face bombs hard unless I really play into queer imagery. And I fear that people like said imagery because my face is so “guy”

It just feels like I can’t even express myself on any facet without being tied to the confines of “man” and “woman”. I try to be my cute self, and if my face is present people aren’t interested. I try to be my queer self and my shitty masculine roots are what’s popular

I imagine if I had a shredded body and could get a smooth shave people would be interested more. But I don’t. I’m chubby, I can barely shave my face. I just don’t wanna be considered a guy

This thread isn’t about people I know
