some of it is just body language? this is gonna sound silly but try wearing heavy boots (will make your steps heavier), work on your posture, and gesture at things like you have arthritis (ex: dont point at something like this 👉, relax your hand a bit like ET or gesture w/ your entire hand)

theres also something to be said for how you wear the clothes? i have some giant button downs from my grandfather and theres a big difference in how they come across if im wearing them open w/ a t-shirt under or buttoned up (more masc) vs w/ the first few buttons undone and pulled up to make a wide v neckline or open w/ a crop top under

i hear you! even sprinkling in a few hand gestures can give off an energy that will flag in ppls brains as "theres something Different happening here". leaning harder into the femininity can also help? like longer nails (natural or press-ons or even those nail ring things), rings, multiple necklaces, more eye-catching ear rings, etc? i have a similar issue where ppl see me and go "ok this girl dresses like a summer camp sounselor/rei staff, but is it in a chill esci way or a antivaxxer way"

like, you can do w/ femininity what freddie mercury was doing w/ masculinity (or even a more work-appropriate version of what chappelle roan has going on, or the various energies the boygenius folks have)
