oo, what does it look like?
I remember first buying a purse when I was a teenager (unaware of my gender issues).
There was this weird conflict brewing inside me, debating whether I could get away with buying and having a purse - would my mom let me? Would my dad find out and threaten me? Would I get bullied at school?
My girlfriend at the time was with me and was so supportive, she was the real reason I felt the freedom to take that little step, to sheepishly choose a purse and buy it.
Wearing a purse was one of the few gender non-conforming activities I took a risk on when growing up: I wore a purse everywhere in high school and didn't stop as an adult.
Usually of course I chose purses that were more subdued (in colors of browns, blacks, greys) and usually plain and not too feminine in style. But I corrected people when they called it a "man-bag", insisting it's really just a purse.
So yay for purses, have a great purse day, enjoy that mojito!! ๐ฅ๐
