Enby here too, and holy shit is that a mood.
I'm almost 8 months into my transition and I feel like I've hit a wall in terms of my public perception. I get the occasional confused glance but it's always "Sir" when it comes to honorifics.
I mean, I get it. One doesn't normally expect an amab enby with AA-cups to want to keep its villainously-curled moustache. But that's always been an effeminate affectation to me and I get compliments on it almost every time I leave the house. I don't want to have to shave it off and pay for electrolysis just to be seen. >_<
For what it's worth your presentation sounds awesome to me and curled moustaches have always had a somewhat gender ambiguous or nb vibe to me. Like they're beards which read masc but they're curled which reads fem to me.
Well, hecc. I guess I've been talking it up around here for long enough I might as well post it~
I am so glad I got to see this gorgeous mustache!
Do you have to reapply hair wax or something through the day?
Not usually! Any sort of high-hold product can manage it, but the trick is in the application technique. Contrary to the popular image of the moustache-twirling villain, twisting messes up the alignment. You've gotta spike it out straight and then bend it for the curve. 🤓
12/10 thank you for sharing 🥹
It's my pleasure! 😄
Beautiful. Majestic. Delicate. The mustache does not disappoint.
Thank you!
That is a mighty well behaved 'Stache you have there! My beard/stache resembles Davy Jones from pirates of the Caribbean; unruly groups of curls/coils resembling tentacles. And in literally every color in the rainbow (I combed through it in the shower this morning and snagged a single pure white hair).
Why, thank you, and that sounds like an awesome beard!
I hope that someday you will grace us all with a picture of the legendary villainously-curled mustache
That someday is today~
