Hey all, I'm a mid-20s person who just isn't really sure. I feel like I identify as gender fluid/non binary. My awesome husband is a trans man and is helping me explore binders and clothing options and also showed me this site. :) However, I just feel very unsure of myself or who (what?) I am. I feel like every non-cis person I've ever met has some sort of epiphany about their identity and I really don't. I'm just very confused and looking for guidance and hopefully some people who have a story a little similar to mine. Thanks!
Welcome!
Clothing can be a challenge. I remember the bad old days in which I'd basically buy anything besides boring polos/dress shirts that would actually fit! Then I started wearing women's clothes in men's styles and discovered that just about everything fit perfectly! ;D It is easier now that stores like Target are selling unisex clothing for kids. Men's clothing should be a little looser than women's clothing, so you can't tell whether someone is ripped or a tad overweight. But it is really bad to wear clothes that "float" on you if you are small, as that makes you look even smaller.
