    My first time posting on here in a very long time, so I'll get right into it!

    This past school year (junior year of high school) I've been trying hard to pass as male. I came out to all of my teachers in advance so nobody is using my deadname, I got all new clothes and tried to dress nice all the time, and generally was trying to go stealth about being trans. I have no idea how well it's worked, but I'm tired of hiding my identities. They are a part of me and always will be, and I want it to be obvious to those around me who I am. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    Moreover, I want to be taken seriously as a guy interested in dating other guys. Are there any accessories or style choices that tend to indicate one is gay? I don't want it to be ambiguously homosexual, I want things that say specifically "I am a guy who likes dating guys." Because you know, barely-passing-trans-guy here :icon_roll

    Thanks for any help!

    Are you into accessories and/or pins? Try some rainbow/sexuality flag ones, or if you want to make it even more obvious, try humourous LGBT-themed shirts.

    A simple rainbow bracelet should do it.
