I appreciate the feedback. I do have a very distinct style, which is certainly not for everybody. Even cis women wouldn't blend in doing what I do, but I actually don't believe in blending in, for it's own sake. I rather be seen than be invisible, which is how I felt for decades.
There are signature things I do with every outfit. There is always one of three black high waist belts with silver metal. There is always similar black and silver jewelry, but I rotate in and out various pieces. And often there is some western wear accessories. As a male, I was into Spaghetti Westerns. I have re-purposed some my old Western wear for my new life. What can't be seen in my pictures is that many of my accessories have either a skull or skeleton motif on them; it's a touch of goth I like to bring into my look.
It doesn't bother me in the least that my fashion choices might remind somebody of Halloween. Before I began transition, I had a very definite vision of who I intended to become. I always saw myself as an older chick who could still rock the house down, and that is exactly the person I have tried to become. I decided that if I was going destroy my entire life, I might as well become exactly the person I felt I was inside.
I work out of the house about 95% of the time. I dress very casually there, but almost all of my social life is in clubs, and I wear my own distinct version of club wear when I go to them. Dancing has become the most important thing in my personal life, and my outfits seem to fit perfectly well in the venues I frequent.
