Just poking around on t'internet I found this commentary ( re-blogged on the Genderfork tumblr ) on androgynous fashion, which struck a cord... When we talk about androgynous fashion, we usually mean...

I use Pinterest, but in a really all or nothing way. I'll be on it for like 6 hours straight creating a board and then I won't really go on it again for a month. It's cool, but I haven't found a...

In a totally blanket statement kind of way, I feel that. I've always really liked the whole (to continue with the word choice of the post) male-presenting people wearing makeup and more "feminine"...

Heh, the whole pinning stuff for hours and then leaving it for a bit strikes a cord with my Pinterest boards as well :) I also like the organisation aspect of it, although I do like Tumblr's chaotic...

The thing I don't like about Tumblr, unless I just don't know how to use it, is that there doesn't seem to be a way to really jump through and find something that isn't recent, like on a blog where...

True enough, for such a popular thing Tumblr isn't always very user friendly... I've only just worked out how to reply to posts people make on their blogs ( it's not at the bottom of the post, where...

This talk about androgynous fashion, it seems quite similar to talking about cross-dressing "light". Is this what we mean? Comments: 0

I'm not sure, I've not heard of cross-dressing light, although i am curious! What does it mean? :) . I kind of see androgynous fashion as being clothes that any gender could wear, or clothes that make...

Yeah, neither me :) I just made up the light-part so the cross-dressing becomes not transforming to the opposite gender, but only halfways. Still, when you say that any gender could wear androgynous...

I guess as well a lot depends on how you normally present, I sometimes wear a black fitted shirt with jeans, and regularly get comments about either how it works in an andro way ( from friends ), or...

Well, cross-dressing by definition, kind of implies defined gender (usually firmly in the binary) and specifically presenting as "the opposite." I think you could really only call it "cross dressing...

Nikia, thanks for clearing the words up. I don't want to add myself with that perspective. Obviously that's why I'm here. Also I agree to Scarlettraces' example. My concern is just: What happens when...

Oh, ok Fredrikku...I think I see what you are saying now. I guess maybe by letting go of the idea that androgynous is only going to look like one thing. I don't think any one designer can design...
