The AMAB Wardrobe

Here is a post that AMAB trans folks might find useful. It is about how to do your makeup, feminize your voice, where to buy wigs etc. 

Note 1: I have not used the shops listed myself, so I cannot give a review on them. Use the websites at your own risk and I cannot be held responsible for anything.  

Note 2: Some of these resources are aimed at crossdressers, or crossdressers along with trans people. I am not lumping AMAB trans folks with cross dressers but I do feel that the resources could be helpful, thus they are included.

Note 3: This post contains information on how to “pass.”  (I’m not a fan of the concept of passing) This post is not trying to make you into the cis world’s idea of a “perfect woman” but instead to give those who want resources for things that will make them feel more comfortable what they want. Remember, if you do all of these, some of these, or none of these it does not make you any more or less of your gender.

What history can teach us about  the “back to the manly men” trope

Karolina Żebrowska, a fashion historian and YouTube vlogger, has made a fascinating video about manly fashion throughout the ages. It turns out that all the stereotypes about “proper manly attire” were created in the late 19th/early 20th century. 

Karolina reminds us that back in the day Jesus wore something that today would have been considered a dress.

High heels were actually originally men’s shoes and women wearing heels were considered manly: 

“And some men actually complained about women stealing their ultimate attribute of manliness, which was high-heeled shoes.

The  high  heels also had a red bottom, which you may nowadays can be found in the manliest of all shoes – the  Louboutin  heels.

Well, at least they didn’t put too much care in their hair, as men nowadays with all the gel and…

Oh, wait! When ladies put their hair in simple modest buns and covered it with caps,men went f***ing feral with their gorgeous, voluminous locks.  

Understandably, a lot of them wasn’t born with a shampoo commercial mane, so they wore wigs. Back when women didn’t.  Because it made them look a lot like a man.”

And so on and so forth. 

Watch the video. It’s fun!

Let me add that the reason some people stick to the “manly men” stereotype and spend so much time ridiculing people who break these imaginary rules, is that it is a way of forcing people to live up to their restrictive views of what it means to be a real man or woman. There is a lot of homophobia and transphobia hidden in that term.
