For Rye, it took some time to be comfortable with her gender identity. "I used to always have these roadblocks of how far I could push the envelope," she told BuzzFeed. "I didn't come bounding out of the closet as a trans woman as much as I slowly let myself accept my gender identity over the course of my past 5 years or so, albeit in a very public way."

While she loves ModCloth items like the Mewseum Visit dress (wonderfully self-explanatory, pictured above), she said that she's now "gotten to a point where [she wears] what [she wants], whether that's a cute lacy dress or just a pair of bootcut pants and casual shirt."

She added, "It's funny, before I came out I was always imagining people freaking out when they found out I was into dresses and stuff, but now people actually react weird when I show up in pants. I'm like, 'I'm allowed!'"
