    I’m so scared of noticable colors that I’m thinking about trying transparent (but glossy) nail polish.

    I thought about animal transformations the last days and it seems I very constantly prefered to be a female animals. But since that’s mostly about roles and humans are more flexible with roles, it probably doesn’t matter much. (And I can’t get pregnant even if I wanted to.)

      Idk if this actually helps but I thought I’d offer just in case: I’m a very cishet-coded man, and I wear bright glossy colored nail polish a few times a year for sporting events. I get them painted in team colors to show my support, and as best I can tell people perceive it as being very traditionally male when they ask and I start happily babbling about sports. If you have a particular color way you want to try, I’m happy to help you find a team that matches and some talking points about them so you can try painting your nails more ostentatiously and still have a cover story.

        My favorite color is shocking pink, which makes things a bit difficult, I guess. But I’m also not interested in sports at all

          Inter Miami (men’s soccer) and the San Diego Wave (women’s soccer) both wear a shocking pink. Angel City (women’s soccer) wear a more muted pink if that’s your style. Woso is a bit more clocky because the fandom is very queer, but being a bandwagon Miami fan because you saw Messi in this year’s World Cup is a very stereotypical cis dude behavior. I don’t mean to try to strong arm you into caring about sports, I’m just mentioning an option.

      transparent nail polish is nice, also i can say that just plain black nail polish feels very fem compared to nothing at all, but gets read as pretty androgynous. i painted my nails black for like 4 months straight and nobody said a thing; within a day of adding other colors there were multiple people who brought it up (both supportive and not). in other words, black nails are ideal for feeling fem while boymoding :3
