The Road to Coming Out

Button Down Dilema

FUCK GENDER ROLES!! And saying that certain clothes are for gay people. I'm 13 and I REALLY want this cute button down from Topman, but my parents and siblings and friends already think that I'm gay(Even though I am)and I'm not ready to come out obviously. I feel like if I ask for it, my parents are just gonna question me seeing as they already do whenever I donate to the Trevor Project. I just don't get why the shirt HAS to be mens / cause people to think I'm gay. I couldn't find any shirt like it in womens, all there was were crop tops and stuff like that, which I don't want. I just want a simple short sleeved button down, I don't even care what color, but ofc I can't wear what I want in this world without being judged. Even though with most stuff I don't care about judgement, but my sexuality is something I realized in like 3rd grade then just accepted it like a year or so ago. I grew up thinking it was wrong until I found people like Tyler Oakley and Troye Sivan, who are open and bold abouttheir sexuality. And still, its not like I can just tell everyone at school without worry seeing as I go to a Catholic school. Many of the kids I know are accepting, but it could get out to the wrong people. ANYWAY, I just want to get a fucking button down without being criticized for a. wearing a men's shirt or b. Being gay. Even though I know there's nothing wrong with it, a lot of people disagree with me. Wow, this actually got pretty deep, it's a good place to rant I guess. :/  (BTW: I would love to dress like Hannah Hart, just with bowties instead! :P)
