When strangers stop me in the streets the first thing they say is; “hello miss!” and it is often followed up by; “Oh I’m terribly sorry sir.” I can say with confidence that this confusion occurs on an almost weekly basis. It seems that to the eyes of others my appearance often resembles that of a woman. In fact, many have said that I am in touch with my “feminine” side, thus calling me androgynous. These interactions show that fashionable appearances continue to be perceived through gender associations, and they question the appearance I portray as a person identifying as a heterosexual man who enjoys wearing clothes that do not conform to gendered norms.
