As you said, you can choose your gender expression. Pick the one that suits the social situation you're in, even if your inner gender doesn't align with the gender expression. Picking a different gender expression doesn't invalidate the gender you are, it just means you are picking a gender expression that allows you to safely navigate social situations. Sometimes, safety has to be a priority over authenticity and sadly, depending on the area you live in, this may be the case. As you've said, you can't wear make up or women's clothes in public since it's risky. You can dress androgynously though, where it doesn't lean too far masculine nor feminine. Opt for neutral clothing, nothing overly masculine or feminine. You can use foundation and contouring lightly, the effects aren't obvious and can compliment one's face because it is put on lightly compared to heavily applied make-up. Hope this helps. Other members will chime in with advice and suggestions to better help you. Your English and grammar is fine

I think that culture can be really tough for nonbinary. Safety first is right.
Its kind of hard to explain my gender. Lately more so. But what I put over myself, well, that does not determine who I am.
I wear sweaters, jewelry, long nails, knee high boots hidden under the jeans. Female underthings, because I am mtf sh'e bodied.
But I can look many things, I wear my hair in ways that can be interpreted different ways, its getting longer now.
You have to be careful, blend, the rigidity of the male dominated culture is very threatening.
Even out fully she I can feel threatened as well. I would prefer to wear more skirts, I don't, as I have not had bottom surgery.
It takes a lot of inner strength to be who we are.
I am increasingly female at work. I won't wear some things, but others are very much obvious.
While it scares me, I am trying of acting like someone else. And that is my point. I am tired of acting - off the stage.
So, at this point, I just am letting go and hoping that there is no recoil.
I keep to myself. Its a lonely walk, even in a crowd. I don't expect anyone that is cis to understand me. Women do to some extent, men do not.
Welcome to the forum.
