Begging, begging, begging people to stop associating aging and femininity in men/masculine people as Wrong and Predatory. Femininity has no age limit.

To any feminine man, masculine person, or really, anybody who needs to hear this: Your femininity deserves to be recognized and celebrated. Aging is a natural and unique part of life, and you don't have to sacrifice your femininity for fear of being "too old" to be accepted or seen as charming. You are already charming.

There is no limit to being who you are. No matter what you're told, you still deserve to completely claim yourself.

I have a question, where would gnc/trans people get their clotges in the days before the selling of premade clothes? I assume some was stealing from relatives, and that soem of them did know how to make clothes, but that doesn't seem at all likely to be the most common method

That is an amazing question!

Unfortunately for a lot of people, we don't really know- many trans folks flew under the radar and as such details of their lives are unclear. Legendary stagecoach driver Charley Parkhurst, for example, left no sort of record as to where he got his clothes (especially since he lived in a cabin in the middle of nowhere for many years of his life). And figures like Mary Jones, a Black trans sex worker from the early 19th century, flit into and out of the pages of history so quickly that there's barely enough info to get their vital statistics, let alone shopping habits.

However, my guesses would be as follows:

Secondhand shops. These have existed for a very long time, and if you already have at least one outfit that makes you read as the correct gender, nobody would question you going through that section of the store/market/whatever.

Sympathetic conventional tailors or dressmakers. This is almost certainly where middle- and upper-class GNC or trans people got their clothing- one can hardly imagine legendary writer George Sand buying her suits secondhand, after all. And since humans have always been human, and Let People Dress How They Please; They Aren't Hurting Anyone is a sentiment I've seen at least as far back as the 19th century, I suspect there were far more of these than many people might think.

Clothing workshops catering to the demimonde- that is, to theatrical companies for costumes, or to sex workers. Certainly this is where drag performers got their stage gear, and one imagines people for whom gender variance crossed the line from performance to identity- like Fanny Park and Stella Boulton -might have turned to their costumers for everyday attire, too. And catering to sex workers probably got all sorts of requests that were seen as outre for the time (in a roleplay capacity- most sex workers dressed conventionally while not actively Doing Sex), but their money was as good as anyone else's.

Friends and relatives. Some families knowingly supported their crossdressing or trans loved ones. Even partners who married the person in question as the binary opposite gender could fall into this category- Lili Elbe (though she lived after premade dresses began to rise in popularity) first experimented with feminine attire in dresses and jewelry loaned by her enthusiastically supportive wife Gerta Gottlieb. In fact, Gottlieb was bisexual, and their marriage was only annulled because Lili was a woman now and same-gender marriage was illegal in Denmark at the time.

Also yes stealing from your relatives was also an option, of course. if they were less than sympathetic

The king of France???? this is the wildcard, and my absolute favorite: the Chevaliere d'Eon, when she transitioned in the 1770s, got the king to not only formally state that she had been assigned female at birth (there had been speculation about her physical sex for years at this point) but to pay for her new wardrobe of gowns. Absolute Queen.

"but didn't her mantua-makers notice Some Physical Things?" she's believed to have had some form of gynecomastia, based on her autopsy, and they'd never have cause to see her in less than her calf-length chemise. if they did see anything, they kept their mouths shut, and rightly so.

look while i'm greatful i had the media literacy to spot immediately that they were gonna do the "if we have a lesbian (esp of colour) she HAS to be a cop" trop with cait and thus was 0% invested in her and Vi from the start, this last szn was just. broke my heart to see what they did to Vi.

breaks my heart more to see so many young queer ppl unironically thinking that is a /good/ lesbian relationship.

like, I know fandom hates butches/gnc/trans lesbians and comma yall are just gonna go ham for a ridiculously abusive relationship? Vi's character has been beaten into submission by loss, by making the "wrong choice" over and over again; now that she has lost everyone who ever mattered, her desperation for Cait isn't out of love, it's out of need to have fulfilled at least one role, one expectation correctly. and she has no one else so she will do anything not to fuck it up. it's textbook trauma responses and coping.

Cait tried to kill her, tried to GAS HER ENTIRE CITY, cheated, tried repeatedly to KILL HER SISTER and isolate Vi from her entire community, demeans her, talks down to her, treats her like she's stupid, and only acts like she likes her when she's running from something and feels out of control herself so needs something (she doesn't even see Vi as a someone) else to control.

At the end, when she called her Violet? I nearly cried. That fucking hurt. And when Vi went back with a pet name? I knew that hurt her too, and she was just trying to appease, appease, appease. She has no one else, she's failed everyone she was told she had to protect, she can't fail anyone else again, but the price of that with Cait is failing herself.

Yall are so happy to see butches be abused and call it goals, and that speaks novels about how you feel about GNC dykes.

Last two days have been particularly rough because of personal circumstances.

But if there's anything I've learned that is of great value for one's personal well being, is that letting yourself feel sad when you need to feel sad is just as important as letting yourself indulge in silliness.

The last two days were for mourning and coming to terms with these feelings.

Today is about rewarding myself with silly things. Which I suppose is context enough for the next post I'm about to make.
