I’m usually a pretty hardcore boymode extremist, but today my gf asked me if I think boymode really is the right thing for me in the long term. My therapist asked me the same not too long ago and wants to push me to girlmode. I don’t know what to do. My body is alright-ish, just too fat, but I loathe my face. My voice is untrained and bad. My gf says my body language is very feminine, but at the same time she says when I speak I’m more brash and blunt than most men. I feel I would be a very poor copy of a woman. Boymode is simple, boymode is safe, why do people question the mode of the boy? What am I supposed to do? I just want a relatively easy life, not to become a hon or optics nuke just because girlmoding is something one has to do, no matter the consequences or chances of success.

      I always dressed rather androgynously because for example women’s trousers fit me while men’s didn’t. But at the same time I was never interested in skirts or dresses or generally very feminine clothes. Nothing about that has changed, I feel those clothes are not what I am. I have zero craving to wear them. For this reason I feel girlmoding has a high cost for zero gain. Malefailing is nice because it gives me the feeling that maybe I’m not completely chopped. But generally speaking not getting into trouble is far more important to me than passing to others. My main issue is that I don’t pass to myself and girlmoding would not change that.

          That’s the thing though, what’s the point where girlmoding starts? If androgynous clothes for women count I have been girlmoding for a decade.

          Underwear!? Like, who even sees that, can’t I just keep wearing boxer shorts?

          I have no holes for earrings. I polish my nails regularly because they are fragile and break easily, I really try to maintain them well. I don’t know if my haircut is feminine, but I often get compliments that my hair looks good. I never used makeup.
