One time, I was asked to be in a magazine photoshoot.

@skinnylatte Girl why are you in my head?
I feel exactly the same about my clothes and fashion. The most femme I feel whenever I wear dresses. Most of them are flowy and shapeless.

@farah hey I found this and it helped me visualize what I should try. Was never able to before I saw these diagrams

@skinnylatte I suspect you did it for the same reason I and so many other autistic people would have. Masking to avoid conflict, or to avoid being judged, or seen as different.

@m yes and there is a lot of performative gender in my case. I don’t care anymore but at the time I could not opt out

@skinnylatte this thread is so relatable
Both on the autistic comfort thing, and just not really strongly relating to overtly masc or femme fashion
It's been a weird journey to start to both understand what I think looks good and what I think makes me happy with fashion. My experience when I was younger made me think people didn't enjoy fashion and just did it for other people ... and yet I'd occasionally see someone who seemed to be really enjoying it

@skinnylatte @farah I am this shape and I never knew I needed this...

@skinnylatte I've always thought I was "barrel" shaped - this is why I like wearing my motorcycle gear (with all the armour) I have an androgenous "cyberpunk" body image. @farah

@SeaFury @skinnylatte @farah
Have I found my people? Rectangle/blob sounds about right -
