Зовнішність оманлива: модель з тілом жінки і обличчям чоловіка шокує з першого погляду

When walking home in a dress at night, I leave my headphones around my neck so that I can be aware of all the things around me because I often will experience catcalling, physically violent transphobic attacks or appear more vulnerable for predators. I wait until the train/bus to sit back to my favorite tunes. But when walking in (as labeled) "men's" shorts and a collared shirt I can put on my headphones/Rozebuds and listen to music every step of the way because I feel safe and confident. Same person. Same color scheme of clothing. Same night. Different treatment. It's not right. I'm not a victim by any means- but I am a bit miffed at this inequality. --------------------------------------- (This insight and post was sponsored by Rozebuds- a budding company that created these cool wireless headphones that also turn into a necklace. This IS a paid post and 60% of the $ will be going to the metropolitan LGBTQ+ youth homeless shelter in honor of Pride Month. If you want to learn more about their creative product then check my IG stories this week or click the link in bio. If you DO decide "Hey these are cool I want to buy some" then use the link in the bio and I will donate $9 for every pair directly to homeless youth.

My strength does not come from my clothing. No matter what I wear whether my choice or not- I guarantee I will still be me. Because I'll be damned if I let something as simple as Cloth be my shackles. We are stronger than fabric. More purposeful than politics. And here for a reason so much more magnificent than making our appearances fuckable. There's more reason to life than potential orgasms, genitalia and lust. I know that may sound crazy but- its true. #SocietyChoseThisGarmentBasedOnMyBirthCertificate #DoesntBotherMe #lovetheskinyourein #FabricIsntAPrison #lgbtqpiadkh #lgbt #genderfluid #genderreveal #tomboy #janegirl #IamI #KeepItUp #WBW

Same person but when I am perceived as "male" and am purchasing "skin care" products often I get an odd look, asked if the product is for my GF, or at times in the past I even get laughed at by interested dating prospects. However if I am perceived as "female" salespeople literally will try to shove these products into my hands. Insisting that as a "woman" I need to prevent against the signs of aging. In the fashion world especially I am constantly told to maintain a skin routine because aging = career death. (To be fair I don't use skin care products- and often AM purchasing them for someone else haha) ------------------------------------- I am so torn on this one as a "Gender Capitalist". It seems either way I'm perceived I lose. On one hand "Women" are told that the natural process of their body changing is ugly and bad. They are charged a ton of money to fight against this via beauty creams and cosmetics. It's very expensive to be a "female". But yet as a "man"- while I'm told that aging is sexy and I get to have the self confidence- I am ridiculed for nurturing myself. I let my body degrade, skin tear and sag, literally because I am told that to take care of it is for sissies. One sex perception leads to ability to self nurture through diet/routine/intake which can allow for potential better longevity and vitality (cosmetics and creams aside ahem). The other leads to confidence and thousands of dollars in savings.

There are things people often think I am that ARE "commonly most advantageous" & usually safest (in my personal experience). Here is the list in order! (also race is added in there because it factors into the perception of the "gender" big time) . 1) Hetero Cis White Male- 2) Gay Cis White Male- 3) Cis White Lesbian/Bisexual- 4) Any Sexuality White Trans Male- 5) Hetero Cis White Female- 6) Any Sexuality White Trans Female. WHY?! Find out as I literally strip down in @stylelikeu most recent video- and share a bit of my story. If you're interested the link is in my bio. Id love to hear your story too so feel free to always DM! #IAmWhatsUnderneath #lovetheskinyourein #thenakedtruth #lgbtqpiadkh #lgbtq #genderfluid #pffffftgenderisbasicallymakebelieve

Same person, same outfit cost and color, same day- different perceived worth. I took to the streets of LA/Seattle and asked people "How much money do you think I have in my bank account right now?" While wearing each outfit. The answers were drastically different. In the collared shirt and pants most people thought I had $10-20,000 in my account. But in the dress they said $1-5000. ---------------------------------- When I asked why people thought I only had $1-5,000 in my account while in a dress the two most common responses were "Well, you're trans right? So don't statistics say that trans people are typically poorer?" Or "As a girl you're not ugly but with your short hair and face you definitely look alternative. I just kinda thought maybe it isn't easy for someone who looks like you to get a job? Like customer service wise?" ----------------------------------- So to be seen as worth more I'll wear the look on the left. And work hard to lift up the people who wear the look on the right so maybe the perceptions change. ----------------------------------- #EducateDontHate #MilkMilkLemonade #animalkingdom #gendercapitalism #lgbtq #piadkh #genderreveal #wearenotgender #wearesomethingmorecomplexandnonhomogenous #frolicfrolic ?@isobellovespink ??@outofthecloset thrift store (donated back at the end of the project)

Either way I dress- they see red. But I keep walking because #MyStepsWill make change. Same person, same shoes, same place, different treatment. Don't dress like them for them. Dress like you for you- and the right people for you will walk with you too. (To join the revolution don't FOLLOW my page- join my page. Let's make beauty bigger than clothing.)

I walked my final "Mens" show of the #NYFWM season today and all I could think was that it's only called "Mens" fashion because of the fact that we have deemed only "Men" can wear it. But I've been wearing this since I possibly could. Not because there's something wrong wth me- but because I love the feel and cut of the clothing. This is not a gimmick. It's not a circus trick. It's a stance to say "Fabric should not bind me in its false politics". #clothingisjustcloth #whythepolitics #fashionweek #lgbt #tomboy #pqia #becauseican #gender #thisisatemporarypost photog @lisa_holte_@nomifoto
