I haven't been to church in a while, but my church growing up was definitely not a suit-wearing place. That does make a big difference in need for a suit!

even funerals, I think it's nice/respectful to wear a suit, but the last couple I've been to maybe 2 guys were actually wearing a suit

Everyone I know seems to be getting married, but all the invites are vague/low-formality enough that I don't really feel the need to wear a suit thankfully. I need a blazer at some point though

Stereotypes - Topic of the day 7/30/24
to answer the original thread question: I really have no idea what people think when they look at me. Other people's reads seem to vary wildly depending on factors I don't entirely understand and some that I do (I tend to get read differently depending on who I'm with). I think a big reason I joined this server is that I want to find a way of presenting myself to the world that feels more authentic to me, and maybe that will make people's reads on me line up a bit better with who I am. But who knows

yeah, that's fair. I'll put some thought into it, but I've been low-key considering top surgery so I don't wanna make that purchase until I've decided about that
