Remember that one time I wrote about how I wasn’t a girl… here’s the shirt (And the original blog post )!
Though it looked like a more masculine cut it fit more like a feminine cut. I’m a small in men’s and a medium in women’s (because The extra room in the shirt makes me feel more comfortable vs something that’s so form fitted). I’d recommend going a size up if you’re in between like me.
It’s crazy because as much as I love the statement this shirt makes, I’m absolutely terrified to wear it in public for fear of any negative attention it’ll bring me. This is just another example of how I continually keep myself in the closet and hide behind my femme cispassing appearance.
One day I’ll have the guts to be more public and open about who I am and who I am not.

Potential power move: next time you have an errand to run at 2 AM, or your going to pick up takeout or whatever, this is the shirt to wear. You can do it!
(Also you look rad! That shirt seems to suit you very well. 😀 )
I’m in the same boat. Really want to buy non-binary or genderqueer pins to put on my jackets or bags but I’m too scared to do that!
But I’m rooting for you!
