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!!

I can kinda relate, I live in the middle of suburban America where everyone’s homophobic/transphobic but also a little racist.
I’d say go look more androgynous you should wear more baggy clothes, cut your hair shorter (only if you want though) and wear makeup that doesnt highlight any feminine areas on your face.

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
