[@isabelleer7501]

I do think it will be interesting to see how nonbinary style continues to grow and improve as designers actually learn how to embrace it rather than just putting someone in the opposite binary style. I think tailoring from the 1870s would be interesting, lots of softened shoulders in both men's and women's fashion. But I would also have you in so many 1940s and 1970s inspired looks -I feel like those were such a great moments for nonbinary dressing. Beautiful high-waisted silk pants with open flowy jackets, flowing dresses that show off your height (lots of these outfits chop you up rather than create a clean line), so much potential can't wait to see how your style evolves 😍

[@jvn]

Agree!

[@frugalhousewife9878]

Yes! So excited. Oscar Isaac has worn a skirt to an event a few times now and people are so confused because he's cis het...but wearing a skirt. I thought it was a bold choice but I'm not sure I love the tallish socks with bootie combo with the skirt. Very shortening. But he's trying, right? Also I'm so glad Christian Siriano is doing so well. I remember watching him on Project Runway!

[@LLaP5898]

I loooove the pink dress! Never thought I'd hear the phrase, "I was dressing with my butthole, not my brain" but I'm here for it because it's def a thing. I too had a Japan-without-marijuana phase, except I wasn't in Japan- I was a teenager in the 80's.

[@sarahthomson8183]

A serious moment here.. Mad RESPECT for you, dude. I think some people, watching these these funny/light video's don't understand what it took to get you to this place. I have not read your book yet, but seeing all your social media, QE, and interviews--you are truly an amazing person. You've survived childhood trauma in various forms--sexual abuse, growing up gay in a sexist/homophobic society being two of them--either of which could bring a person down for good. You've survived being HIV positive, and just continue to grow, evolve and manifest your dreams, large and small--with not a nod to what people might say. Literally carving out your niche and paving the way for others to follow in your wake--a hand always extended behind you to lift others, as well. Bravo. Seriously.

Cudo's to your mama, too! I have a feeling she must be an awfully good one. I sincerely hope that people know you are so much more than a pretty face, stylist and comedian.. Though I do enjoy all aspects of you, too, the honesty and courage you've showed in your life in the face of adversity is the real gold.

Hey Jonathan, I just wanted to say that you're gorgeous, and I can really relate to feeling like you have to look a certain way for booty. I'm not fat by any means, but I am curvy, size 38 men's pants, have an hourglass figure and I feel pressured to have a 6 pack and facial hair to attract other guys . I'm 27, trans-masculine/a transman who's medically transitioned, and non op for religious reasons and to have kids if a potential partner would want them. I think it's important to live and present as your heart, and I'm really glad that you've gotten out of thinking/dressing that way, and I'm slowly working on doing the same while still bettering myself and working on my confidence. Much love.
