    Wake up in the morning and my stubble has grown back in.

    Reach past anything colorful in my closet to one of the four button downs I wear to work. This one is gray.

    Brush back my pretty hair until it’s behind my ears and within the bounds of acceptable male presentation.

    I put on the tie. Everyone will call me sir.

    45 hours of every week.

      I know what you mean. I work hybrid but still. Is such a confusing experience, although I’ve been wearing women’s jeans and hoodies to work and my hair down. Honestly people still just see me as a man though

        We have a strict dress code.

        Men must wear a collared shirt, tie, slacks, and dress shoes.

        Women can basically wear what they want 😔

          When in high school, it always annoyed me when people complained about things like length requirements of skirts for girls when boys didn’t have the option of wearing them at all (or dresses or jewelry or make-up/nail polish, etc). The girl’s dress code was just boy + a bunch of extra things they were exclusively allowed. Of course I insisted (to myself) that I wasn’t jealous or anything because why would I want any of that… it was just the principle of the matter, surely (/s).

          That sucks so hard. I am incredibly lucky that my job doesn’t give a fuck what I wear, so it’s strictly gender neutral clothing items. Also that sounds kinda like sex discrimination from a law POV
