      I am an 1,87m tall, somewhat broad shouldered dude over 40 with a bit of a beer belly and a beard (imagine a stereotypical lumberjack but working in IT)… what is stopping me dressing like that? Well… i don’t want to see people around me clawing out their eyes.

            I meant someone who’d be there in person for you and can do your makeup or teach you how. At the very least it wouldn’t harm to do guy makeup like foundation or coverstick. Eye contouring and mascara can also be unisex depending on how it is used.

            Also me being enby doesn’t mean I don’t use makeup. I actually wear eyeliner and mascara almost daily. Also I manage to pass as androgynous despite being 1,81m and semi-muscular. But there are ways to hide masculine features. Only people who will probably great difficulties are body builders or have the facial features of a gorilla or baboon.

            But then again there is Azis who is a body builder, musician and absolutely gorgeous with makeup on.

          And you know what!

          I’m a cis male, and I’m not even thinking this is any form of gender bending. I’m wearing them because when I wear them, they are manly.

          I’m not against blurring gender lines, it just not my style. I just hate that make fashion is basically funeralwear.

          When I die I want everyone to attend in the most colorful and creative outfits, need to make a will to ask people wearing a traditional suit to fuck off.

            That’s my problem with male fashion too. It’s all so bland and boring.

            Women’s fashion: colorful, cute looking.

            Men’s fashion: dark, drab, all the same.
