I sometimes do this sort of gender expression when I dress up, and I like this name for it:

"additive gender"

That has a name?

I always figured, if you can't hide it, flaunt it. The chest merkin goes in the cleavage. A little rouge and mascara above the beard.

Hmmmmm. Maybe a big ol' ugly beard this year. :-) Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Hm!

I wonder who that would weird out.

[firecat]

Maybe it would only weird out people you didn't want to talk to anyway.

Aww.
