Re: Based on #8 - Subcultures

I'm a second-generation goth! For me, the fashion isn't the defining thing-- I grew up poor and fat, I didn't exactly have many standout wardrobe pieces in high school, or even college. At 35, I finally commissioned a custom corset.

As much as I like dressing up (and I love my collection of black, blue, and green lipsticks), it's really about just... like, I grew up on horror media, and being queer and trans and ND, I vibed with the strange and the monstrous and the misunderstood. And I just love this stuff. I love that I can be serious or silly while still embracing the spooky things I enjoy, I love Romantic poetry and B horror, I love bats and skulls, I love black leather and red velvet and drippy lace... And as a trans man who genuinely loves things like frilly blouses and lipstick and corsets and fishnet stockings, goth is a way of embracing all those things in a subculture where they're considered gender-neutral. In a lot of spaces, you get people being dicks about why you would even bother transing your gender if you're just going to wear 'girly' stuff, but here, I've got the freedom to feel like me whether I'm wearing layers of basic black (with perhaps a Robert Smith-esque bedhead-and-lipstick thing), going for a vampire look with leather pants and a blouse, or full on Rocky Horror-ing it in fishnets and a corset.
