so I wanna start looking more androgynous just because... idfk I would feel better about myself? although I already know that when I go back to school people are gonna make fun of me and ask if im trans. (almost everyone here is transphobic+homophobic)
I already am what they consider emo literally just because I have dyed hair and wear lots of bracelets. that doesnt bother me in itself but if I look emo AND don't entirely look like my assigned gender? I'd be the equivalent of a war crime to them.
anyway, if anyone has any tips for looking more androgynous plz let me know!!

man that sucks. looking different in a small town is not 4 the weak and i speak from experience as someone who also lived in a small town (3k people in the mountains LMAO)
anyway to look more androgynous as a chick id say to emphasize any masculine features you have. for example i have more 'feminine' eyes so i emphasize them with eyeliner to seem more androgynous. additionally wear boxy shirts and regardless of your hair length, keep it behind your head/shoulders. wear flat bottomed shoes. if you do makeup id say make your eyebrows appear straighter/lower. not my field of expertise lol.
anyway its a pain that people in your town are like that. its great that youre willing to express yourself
that’s so real i’m in the southern part of a midwest state and we have less than 4k people💔💔
and thx for the tips! eyeliner is my holy grail fr

that sucks so bad. I live in a city and it's not really small, but a lot of the people there are very judgmental, especially at school </3 but don't let people snuff out your creative flame! They're just jealous they aren't cool enough to live to their full potential.
some tips on being more androgynous:
do some more thick/bushy brows
contour your nose to make it appear defined
defining your cheekbones
do a little bit of eyeliner/eyeshadow
if you want something a little more drastic, you could also get a more androgynous haircut like a wolfcut or some layers or a long mullet cut. whatever u want!
sorry for the long comment btw 😭
no need to apologize- this is actually rlly helpful, so thank you! I'm trying to decide on a shorter haircut that isn't super girly but also not masculine enough to concern my family lolz
but for now i'll practice my makeup and see how i feel about it :D
