odd thoughts

valarltdI have come to the conclusion that overtly performing any gender feels like drag to me.
Dressing in unisex, jeans and polo/t-shirt has become so much my norm these days that any deviation tends to unsettle me.
A dress and flats feels as odd as a shirt, vest and tie. Makeup feels gunky on my face all day long. The only place I don't mind performing a gender is with my scent. I like florals and fruity scents of apricot and plum and peach. But dressing male is not currently an option given my body shape.
One thing about Dragon*con, I was looking, but I wasn't wanting (until well into a much-too-alcoholic drink). Ordinarily at any convention, I encounter at least a couple people that make my body scream "DO WANT!" At D*C, nothing until I'd been drinking.
I don't get it. But it is something to ponder.
