Gender identity and expression

I fucking love being referred to as a guy/with stereotypically masc terms while being dressed fem

I love the design and materials and movement of dresses rather than their association with femininity and they're one of my only other options than leggings because I can't stand the feeling of denim on my legs and nowhere near me sells pants other than jeans

I'm wearing one of my favourite dresses today and one of my teachers called me mate (just the way he is, he was covering my class and I'm one of the only students he knows in there because he was one of the staff members on a residential trip that I went on in June) and it made me happy because, even though it's used to refer to girls, it's more commonly used in groups of guys

Same thing when my friends use my preferred name (Logan) even though I always wear dresses and skirts (and the fact that there's some people that have only ever known me as Logan)

Like, yes, I dress feminine, but yes, I'm also transmasc
