    oo, what does it look like?

    I remember first buying a purse when I was a teenager (unaware of my gender issues).

    There was this weird conflict brewing inside me, debating whether I could get away with buying and having a purse - would my mom let me? Would my dad find out and threaten me? Would I get bullied at school?

    My girlfriend at the time was with me and was so supportive, she was the real reason I felt the freedom to take that little step, to sheepishly choose a purse and buy it.

    Wearing a purse was one of the few gender non-conforming activities I took a risk on when growing up: I wore a purse everywhere in high school and didn’t stop as an adult.

    Usually of course I chose purses that were more subdued (in colors of browns, blacks, greys) and usually plain and not too feminine in style. But I corrected people when they called it a “man-bag”, insisting it’s really just a purse.

    So yay for purses, have a great purse day, enjoy that mojito!! 🥂💖

        thanks for the pic! very practical, love that in a purse. Thicker strap is more functional and fits this purse well - easier and more comfortable to carry on your shoulder, and across the chest.

        I have a few purses that look like this one, love it! 🖤

        P.S. your English is great 😊
