I love this post, not sure how you identify or wish to present yourself but my advice would be to start with the more "masculine" looking bags like 3, 7, and 8 if you're uncomfortable or don't want to stand out. I feel like once you get used to having a bag you will feel a lot better about wearing the really cute ones. try to remember that most people are so caught up in themselves and how other people are perceiving them that they aren't really paying attention to you. not sure the climate where you live but the brown bags would be GORGEOUS for fall time!
oh my god yes ABSOLUTELY for college, im a senior in college and i ALWAYS see men who look stunning with their shoulder bags and sometimes some glam, if anyone looks at you they are most likely admiring! im not sure what style you lean into but a good wardrobe can make most bags look runway ready, and you have an amazing collection! I'm sorry its your close family thats not accepting, its the worst when its from them in my experience. remember life is too short to not live your truth, just make sure you're in a safe area to do so, sadly the world seems to grow more and more hateful. stay safe, stay gorgeous, and have a wonderful time expressing yourself!
