secret high level trans feeling:

feeling nothing special or stylish when you look at cisgender people that are your agab

yet

sharing a sense of style and feeling kinship with trans people that are your agab

because 'assuming an expression of this gender' is a shared experience and a version of a thing that looks euphoric rather than being imposed from without as a form of control is genuinely miraculous-- even if you do not want to live life 'as' that gender or even any binary gender at all.

#see: binary trans people who feel more comfortable with aspects of their agab after they transition.#but also: im agender and i always felt my fashion sense sucked before i came out and was 'too feminine' when I didn't like 'girl things'#and then whoops trans girls in counterculture same socks same corsets #this is also not saying that everyone of every gender dresses the same or is in the same counterculture of course. duh #but counterculture is gonna be concentrated in those. who are counter. to the majority culture. thats what it is #'nothing special or stylish' does not mean thinking negatively also #it only means relating less to somebody who did not have to move from start and didn't #this feeling/formation of the tastes happened AT ALL due to counterculture that wasn't trans-specific like punk and goth #this is all simplified for 'a post on the internet'
