Yeah 🫤
Wearing a skirt alone in my apartment is about as safe as it gets for me, its incredibly frustrating how little i feel like i can do to be me.
skirts are the best! I'm a cis male (and obviously so), and I wear skirts in public all the time (not at work tho, for practical reasons). Most people who have anything to say about it have exclusively been positive.
I am in the unfortunate circumstance that there is a 4 digit (or higher) number of people who could recognize me in public (perk of being an "IT guy"...) and start rumours around my extremely large workplace, making my life and a family members life hellish 😐
I'll suppress my urge to say "fuck those people!" because I recognize that isn't always a viable option.
wait, what if you wore a mask? there's another plague winding up, so you've got the excuse. At minimum, plausible deniability?
(i'm trying to be helpful and supportive, let me know if it's not working and I'll stop)
Not too bothered by helpful/supportive.
Dark red state (the major cities are kinda split, but still an uncomfortable amount of red) that more or less ran the state director of health out of office/town in the first year of covid.
I'm.... very noticeable in size/shape/hair/voice. Built like a large sack of grain wouldnt be inaccurate xD
I've more or less resigned myself to the fact that I'm not likely to be happy here. Just trying to get my mental health together (using my currently pretty good insurance) well enough to be able to get a better paying job a significant distance away.
