So, I’ve started to feel recently that I don’t really feel hugely comfortable with my body, I don’t feel as if I should be so masculine, and I want to feel a bit more feminine, not like transitioning or anything but just, that bit of femininity, a softer feel? I guess? I’m not really sure, but like, I don’t mean anything clothing wise, what I mean is that I want to make my body itself a little bit more feminine, how would I do that? And discreetly, as I’m not even out to my parents as pan yet

I kinda of got on to myself body language wise? Like I would not have my legs pressed together all the times and sit less lady-like - tho itd be the opposite way around for you lol

you can also try and raise your voice slightly but that never worked for me

Thanks, I’ll attempt to give these a go, though I dunno how easy it’ll be to do the arm warmers thing lel, cause if it’s noticed then, well, I doubt I’m in danger but I’d be taken to task about it, or not be allowed to forget it, and I’m in no position to come out yet even about sexuality let alone the fact I’m feeling kinda uncomfortable with my body/gender

you could paint your nails? If you have a younger female aquantince (like a younger sister or cousin) you could always say she did it, they kinda do that alot I think, which could help avoid awkward talks. I personally feel very feminine with teal or pink nails. But if that's not your style I get it <33

I mean, I do have a little sister (who is also queer wonderfully! Though she has more courage than me, I still can’t even get the words to my throat to come out) but she doesn’t really do nail painting anymore, and given how much I do with my hands it’d sure be noticed (I do a lot with machinery, mainly of the miniature steam variety)

however, recently I did find something! I found that when I wear this specific t-shirt it sorts squeezes my body a bit, and sorta pushes my chest out just this slight bit, but as it does that while squeezing it makes it very apparent and I’ve found that actually works really well and has made me feel a lot more comfortable
