Does this REALLY look that gender ambiguous? I’m not a good judge of these things, but someone very innocently asked a staff person if I was male or female the first time I’ve gone to anything remotely social in ages. I’m not offended (but nor was I going for ambiguity) just puzzled.

Notes:

  2. goodnightmoonvale said: Your face seems more gender ambiguous to me, your hair reads more female, and the pants definitely seem more masculine, so I would say there’s a lot of conflicting signals that someone would have trouble reading gender explicitly.
  3. lizardtitties said: I can see the ambiguity to a degree, the glasses and hair are the only thing that are more “feminine”, everything else is fairly un-gendered/masculine leaning. You look like a cool lumberjack btw!
  4. jenesaispourquoi said: your outfit and hair read female in that picture, but your face has a kind of masculine shape? i can’t even say why exactly.
  5. mquester said: Maybe they read plaid shirt = male? You have long hair and a locket though. Weird..
