As the title states, I'm thinking of going to a convention mixed: I.e. I'm thinking of wearing a pair of pants, a guys t-shirt, bra, forms, nailpolish. As I am gender fluid, I want to present as how I feel. Since 95% percent of the time I feel somewhere in between, I want to present as a mix of male and female, so my objective is to not blend in.
Some things you should know: this is a furry convention. I was invited by my friend who does a lot of furry art. I make mention of this, because I figure that many of the people there are more likely to be accepting of it, due to similar circumstances. Of course, there are bound to be exceptions.
No doubt, some of you are wondering why I would want to do this. Simply put, a small condo can feel like a prison when its the only place you feel like you can express yourself the way you feel you should. I want to go out into public and be me, even if only for a weekend. Besides, the way I figure it, at the convention, only my friends will know me, and they are already accepting of it. Everyone else is a stranger I will likely never see again.
As for safety concerns, I'll be traveling with my friends at all times, so I'm not going to go anywhere alone. I'll also be careful not to let people know which room I'm staying in.
Please be considerate of others when replying to this post. I realize that my desire to do this may not be something you approve of, but there is no reason we can't discuss this with civility and aplomb. Also, to be clear, I want to hear from you your thoughts on the matter. Should I do it? Should I not? Other safety concerns? Advice?
