Frani, just discovered your channel and am loving your content and perspectives! You're an inspiration! I'm soft gamine. After decades of internalized critique about my body shape and hair color/texture, I'm reclaiming my geometry and blends of sharp and soft. It was a lightbulb moment when I realized how much those labels of 'feminine' and 'masculine' and cultural expectations have messed with me. Pluto is transiting my 1st house currently. It's been a time of transformation in terms of my style, health and attitude. 💜

i'm really glad I only learned about kibbe body typing through intermediaries like Merriam Style and you. Learning from creators who had already changed the theory & made it their own allowed me to skip a lot of the weird misogyny/racism/ableism that comes with it

Wow, what a powerful message. I can definitely relate to what was said about (very weak paraphrasing incoming!) how if the outside world has conditioned you to police your own body and your fashion choices, then it doesn't really matter what your Kibbe type is, since you'll limit yourself according to what you believe is "acceptable" to wear. I'm pretty sure that I'm Soft Gamine, and I've cut my hair to near-bald (like the KZitemr Alissa Ashley's old haircut), and I feel like it's gorgeous on me and finally brings my face and body into visual balance ... unnnntil I'm outside of the house, LOL. Then the internal programming starts running scripts through my head, saying "don't you want people to be able to tell if you're a woman or not?", "don't you think you'd look even better with a wig?", "what kind of young black woman cuts her hair like this, unless she's Doja Cat or in the closet (gulps nervously, because I've recently come to understand that I'm not straight either, haha!)". I would love to get a consultation with you and hear more about what you have to say on this topic.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this! I think what you've said will resonate with many who read it. Definitely resonates with me as someone who's spent a lot of time hiding, self-policing, and conforming! I'd love to spend some time with you and hear more!

Hi Frani, I love what you have to say about Kibbe, especially through the lens of being a queer person and rejecting the attribution of “masculine” and “feminine” to different types. I’ve found a lot of empowerment through Kibbe’s system (I’m SG 🤗) and want so badly for him to expand on the information for masc people and hopefully use language that includes all genders. I’ve found the descriptions of soft gamines and gamines in general to be quite affirming as I’m a cis woman, but much of his original language is quite limiting to other gender expressions.

Thanks for sharing! I love hearing how different people perceive kibbe's choice of language.
