#claimings

Hi, there! We’ll release the claiming form today at 5 pm GMT/12 pm EST :)

If you can’t be around for it, you can ask a friend to send in the form for you (”claiming by proxy”). Just let them know the number of the prompt you want, your name/alias & pronouns, your AO3 account name and a valid email so we can get in contact with you.

“My first pair of Calvin Klein briefs - although underneath my clothes made me feel the best (clothing wise) I have experienced to date.

Wearing mens underwear set the wheels in motion to unequivocally start to dress in a way that made me feel like I could begin to settle into myself as an androgynous queer.

Wearing “men's clothes” is unfortunately a contentious decision for the majority of women, myself included, and those who are not seen as cis males.

Claiming a style or article of clothing as male has always angered me because it shames anyone else from shopping in the men's sections, I mean fuck it's just a t-shirt, do we really need a penis to shop in this section?

So therefore thrifting became my unabashed male fashion cornucopia, it felt safer somehow.

I use androgynous clothes as an avenue to express myself in a nongendered and nonconforming way.”
