Kind words that should be unnecessary

[aesmael]

Being warned by my sister that a friend of hers will be over today, understood as a warning to dress and present myself in male-coded rather than female-coded fashion so as not to be met with harassment or possibly physical assault by her friend if he should notice me.

fuck em... if they dont have the courtesy to be honest then there is little reason for you to do anything. Take it as in opportunity to go introduce yourself to her friend, I mean... why ELSE would she tell you she had someone coming over?

Though it may be impractical depending on the situation, I could not agree more with this sentiment.
