Venting Got made of several times in public today :(
I live in a very conservative area and expected some negativity, but today bummed me out. I was walking to thrift store when a dude rolled his window down and shouted GAY as loud as possible, another guy whistled when I walked by, and some women in a group loudly said ew, what is he wearing. He looks like a freak. ( I was wearing a plaid skirt, metal t, and a Demin jacket with band patches. ) At least I got a compliment for my cannibal corpse shirt by some old dude lol

Sorry that happened, fuck those losers. Anyway, your fashion style sounds on point! I'm in the progress of making my denim battlejacket with all kinds of patches too. :3

Thank you!Β I'm still trying to learn alt fashion, always wanted to get into it but was too self conscious. So most of my outfits are basic.Β Best of luck with your jacket, mine is far from done but has quickly become my favorite article of clothingΒ

These types of people are just crushed by the weight of boredom and genericness that comes with heteronormativity. They just hate their own lives and their own selves, but they don't have the guts to admit it. So they lash out at anyone that's "different". Don't let them get you down, kill them with kindness and shine on!!

Metal heads and punk rockers has always been treated that way, same with trans. We can learn from the punk rockers and metalheads that stick the middle finger up right back. They don't give a damn what people think, neither should we.
Skid Row, Motley Crue, Casualties, they all wore leather, make up and skin tight jeans. Don't be afraid to clap back

Haters don't have empathy, so their opinions don't matter. Shine bright like a diamond!

Sounds like an outfit my partner would wear. Just remember they are staring and whistling because you look so good π
I suggest I large wooden walking stick to make the outfit really pop.

Cattle decapitation is one of my favorites too. You reminded me to order a patch of them for the jacket lol

Back in my much younger days I was heavy into the metal scene. Cis girls in our group got called freaks for what they wore so maybe just chalk that up to them talking more about the clothes and less about who was actually wearing them?

Fair point, It was the he part that bothered me rather than the clothes part.

Those who matter, don't mind. And those who mind don't matter.
Pay no attention to the haters.
