I got my ears pierced a while back and I’ve mostly worn easy to miss jewelry, but my SO got me these big dangly cat earrings for xmas and I decided to finally wear them. Still absolutely terrified to go into like a store or something but its been fun around friends and family. Its the most feminine thing I’ve done around people I’ve only ever presented very masculine to so its been kind of heartracing. No too bad reactions yet though so thats a good thing.

I know its not necessarily a bi thing to be more feminine but I’ve definitely avoided things like this in the past to “seem straight”

    I wore earrings for a while and like you I present very masculine. Stopped wearing them because I have a nickel allergy and they really irritated my ears, but in my experience at least, nobody really cared or thought any differently of me. Good on you for presenting yourself the way you want.

      I saw this and was thinking the same thing, I doubt op would be treated differently for wearing them out. If a dude came into the shop wearing earrings like this I might notice and if I did I would not care and immediately forget when they leave my sight, just another customer/passerby. I imagine most people are the same.
