Kick Murder Squad PleasurebotI did not have “girl who wears fashion beanies” on my transition bingo card.
People think my transition was male to female but the real on is apparently “high femme in makeup and heels” to “skater girl in converse and beanies.”
TIL YOU CAN DESIGN YOUR OWN BOOT-LENGTH CONVERSE HIGH TOPS!!!
I need MULTIPLE pairs of these!!
And I need to wear them mismatched with fishnets and a miniskirt and a tight low-cut top that says “Not for Male Consumption.”
How am I supposed to concentrate knowing these exist and are not on my body?!
Okay, coming out of FFS recovery, I’m seriously trending skater punk and it’s weird to me. But it SHOULDN’T be weird.
Like, I was literally a skater punk girl in high school (or at least as close to skater punk girl that a boy-shaped skater punk person could get in 80s steel town NY without being murdered) so this shouldn’t come as a surprise to me. Nothing should be a surprise.
I’m starting a new punk band and playing Sleater-Kinney and Mary’s Danish songs. My wife’s present to me for my 40th birthday was a longboard. I literally play roller derby. It’s almost a #ThereWereNoSigns type thing at this point.
So why does this feel like I’m coming out as skater punk?
The funny thing is that there are actually very few changes to my normal wardrobe that would be necessary for me to fully lean into a skater punk aesthetic. #ThereWereNoSigns
Like, most days I could leave work, swap my boots for converse and throw on a hat, and then just go.
My version of high femme slutty was so borderline skater punk already that looking back in hindsight is actually somewhat embarrassing.
I mean I have green and purple hair.
