tbf I’m non-binary and still connect with women fine (OP said trans masc so idk what gender but I’ll still share input). ime how I dress will heavily impact someone’s comfort (very important for women, especially if you’re masc) and how seriously they take me if I’m trying to start a convo. I dress alt and that style seems code for others to assume I’m a certain type of person (left-leaning, queer, ND, or at least supportive of these) bc of how I dress. books with appealing covers get read
