In a few words, what's your ideal gender presentation?
@starkatt nobody really cares and my personality and abilities matter more to them.
@starkatt "twink-y little gay girl" damn if it ain't me
@starkatt easy, femme but also makes anyone who looks at me immediately think "lesbian"
@starkatt is "none" a valid answer?
@starkatt my ideal gender *presentation* is "deeply confusing." though I'm very tempted to say "birdwatching nerd" or "Scrabble shark" or "unknown, possibly dangerous." :D
@green I like that last one :D
@starkatt I once drew a picture of "my gender" that looks like Fizzgig from Dark Crystal, but with a long snakey tail with spikes on it, because ????? :| there's probably spikes in the fur too. and definitely teeth. *definitely* teeth.
@starkatt Probably "frilly femme cutie" ^^ 💖
Something that gets me less "sir" or "gentleman", and also very few "ma'am" or "lady".
(Haven't found it yet.)
@starkatt None binary with left eldritch. (Rhymes with "dragon", which is how I might answer some other day.)
@starkatt buff soft femme? Maybe? There is probably nuance around some of those words that I am missing context for
@starkatt Girldrake!
...It's just really hard to get the right tail decorations in any of the stores here. And NOBODY sells the horn ornaments.
@starkatt Like I am now, but not feeling like I have to hide my shape for people to take me seriously.
Also, clothes that aren't half a size too big would be nice, and I'm looking forward to the day I'm secure enough in my employment to dye my hair in stripes
@starkatt I guess tl;dr is "how I am now, but more confidently"
@starkatt Mildly sexy aunt, the one you always suspected drank liquid LSD in the Before Times and never quite found all of herself on the trip back.
@starkatt I would love to be read as feminine as necessary for people to assume "ma'am" as the appropriate title for me.
@starkatt stoner space otter tbh
@starkatt softboi in skirt <3
@starkatt
Confusing genderless fluffball.
@starkatt ✨plush✨
Honestly though: "confusing"
@starkatt Or better yet:
fury, patience, a conversation; made of love. :D
@starkatt
For me, Butch fem, verging on super Butch. I think I have a little ptsd from having to present as vanilla female for 6+ months during transition (back in the yesteryears when it was an actual requirement to get the GRS letter and often for even HRT)
@starkatt Twinkish rave toyboi
@indi I think you've nailed it. Also, you're incredibly cute ✨💜✨
