I don't really know how though Start shopping in the women's section. Tons of it is pretty gender neutral, but there's a much wider variety, and it's generally more fashionable than men's. If you pick things that are form fitting or have patterns (as opposed to graphics), that will take you out of the masc presentation zone pretty quickly. Careful, though.

Like a decade ago, my sister was making a scrapbook for a school project. I didn't see the whole thing, but she made a point of showing one of the photos of me she included: me as a child wearing stuff like a plastic princess tiara and necklace and such (maybe she was implicitly asking for permission but worded it as a "I'm doing this"?). I greatly approved of that choice. Took like another 8 years to realize I probably wasn't cis. I still haven't really come out to her (mostly just lack of opportunity), but kinda curious if she's suspected something long before me. permalink fedilink source parent
