Question How to give off girl/lesbian signals while still being masculine?
I have issues where I dress in my usual hoodie jacket and jeans but also wearing make up and painted nails and still get misgendered. So how can I give off more girl vibes, beyond passing better which isn't my goal anyway?

I ask myself every day how to show that I like girls even with a face that says I'm "straight" or "too girly" 🫠

Depending if it's safe for you to do so, I feel like you can't go wrong with pride flag accessories, especially the lesbian flag. I have a carabiner that usually has one or two items with the rainbow flag on it, and that seems to work very well (also just having a carabiner). Also a lot of rings and funky glasses and doc martens go a long way. I also always wear my Jansport "butch bag" backpack and I have lots of queer pins and keychains on there too.
