I felt like you didn't really acknowledge how different being outside of the city makes this. People who are from rural areas want to find out their own style rarely have access to as many people who dress alternatively. This just makes fashion a privilege thing. The internet also privileges people who have access to a smartphone or other technology with access to the visual internet, but not as much as literally being in the wrong place two be seen as cool or enlightened in terms of fashion. I wish I could continue watching the video but it just made me really upset to sort of not be seen in that way.
I have a big issue as a nonbinary that has a feminine aesthetic. Because, yknow, a chest helps with being ✨✨pretty in the way I want. But. Then I also don’t come off as nonbinary the way I want. Trans tape sounded interesting, as it would allow me to wear all my feminine clothes without the chest. I dont know just rambling because it’s on my mind now haha
Thankfully we have great cooling at my house, so I could wear my binder whenever I want- sorry to the people who can't- i hope everyones doing alright 🙏
I finally started caring anout my style, I'm just gonna keep wearing the clothes I've had in my closet ✌️ still love learning about fashion, I need the inspo for my characters 💕💕💕
Thanks for this! I'm a cis lesbian, but some of my more masc outfits just look so much better without the boobage! Also, pro tip for slouchers: the bridge yoga pose is a great way to stretch your back after a long day! Stay safe y'all xxx
Thanks, I'm not trans but i really do enjoy hiding my chest and appearing flat because it feels more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing for me than anything. This video has been pretty helpful, especially the section about baggy clothes and such.
My body shape and image are a pretty big deal to me tbh I'm fat and have a giant butt and thighs, so no matter what I do, I'll always bepercieved as a woman It weighs pretty heavily on me and actually a big source of dysphoria for me I have actually been trying to loose weight, but that hasn't been successful so far...
Yeah, extremely relatable on all points! :'D Particularly the parts about feeling bad for "opting out of womanhood and the fight for equilatiy" and "being misgendered as the opposite of my agab feels euphoric because I finally escaped the box I was forced into my whole life"
I’m really flat and was under development growing up but i want to bind and it could be unhealthy. People sometimes tell me they want to be flat like me but I honestly only envy a chest so i could bind in a healthy way. I hate looking like a girl, i hate it.
i am not someone who gets out too much, but there isnt much people, if not none, in my city that have my type of style, but i would like to think that when i go outside, people might also get inspired by me! last year i was wearing arm warmers(its really something weird for my city lol) and after a while some people, not much but some i saw started wearing different arm warmers too, even my friend asked about it (my city is really unoriginal and i hope to be an inspiration for all here!)
Ur so amazing I watched ur video on different ways to make ur chest less noticeable and stuff and I absolutely love it could u also do a video for people who r flat chested I just want everybody to feel happy in their body❤❤
I am hoping my mom checks my phone soon because I'm too scared to tell her that her child is a he/they and I know both of my parents are allies in just scared what they'll think is all
As someone who hates my chest and wants it to be smaller, this is helpful af. I have a C32 size, and using a sports bra doesn't seem to flatten my chest like I want, but maybe I should try wearing it without the pads, like you suggested. I also like to wear baggy tees and sometimes spaghetti tanks, so a sports bra wouldn't work for that, but the tees and anything else most likely
I have a very love-hate relationship with my makeup because I love doing eyeliner, wear lipstick and all of that stuff it makes me feel really beautiful and confident but at the same time it feminises my face and sometimes even makes me feel dysphoric and I kinda don't know what to do like I just what to wear make up but in a guy way😭😭
that's why I love going to the bigger city near me, my dad is always asking me why do I go there if I can get stuff in our town like I just want to look at hot people
One time I saw a really hot girl with wide leg black jeans that had hand painted skeleton bones on the front and back. That was over 5 years ago. But I still really want to paint a pair myself
From person who uses(d) trans tape /kt tape. I’ve used it around a dozen times now and I’m shit at it. It is very possible to not get blisters and I have done so. But more often than not I stretch the tape or tissue wrong and I get blisters. So now I only do tape if it’s for a special occasion or outfit. Def go with actual trans tape. Aside from supporting trans and queer business it’s just built for your chest where kt tape is not. Removal tip: SLOW. With water and soap/something else to break down the binding. I have never used any oil (like coconut) to remove it but that’s bc I never got around to buying it. Without oil it will hurt but going slow and rubbing in warm soapy water will help ~significantly~. Be kind to your skin. This is not a rip the bandage off situation. This is a very sensitive chunk of skin and you will regret it if you rip it. On usage: Be safe and trust your body. Don’t fall into the trap of it hurting a bit is normal or it’s all worth it. Everytime I’ve used tape successfully it doesn’t pull in my skin. If you do get a blister treat it like a normal injury. You may remove the tape and it won’t have popped but often it will have bc it’s attracted to the adhesive. Clean it. Cover it. Don’t futz with it. Don’t wear tape again until it’s fully healed. Hope this helps anyone who is looking
I work at a thrift store so I take a lot of inspiration from the fashionable customers that come in. Its cool cause I see a big variety of ages and lifestyles and personalities. Plus I get cheap clothes lol
My main place to get inspiration is TV shows 😅. Current fave is Kevin from shameless us, makes me want to get some grey and blue dickies chinos and plain tops
Fully agreed. I love this video, EXCEPT there’s absolutely no cool vibes where I live. I’ve seen like 2 cool and hot people in the last few months, it’s sad Nobody here is queer :(
SAME. I pretty much only see people that are alternative when I’m in other countries. (and even then, I see like 1-3 if any) + I feel like the few people that r actually alternative n live near me spend their time mostly inside (like myself)
Probably a lot of people are closeted, and trying to fit in in order to not be outed. Rural queer people get ignored all the time and it really annoys me.
