How can a disabled person (wheelchair user) with carers who visit, to get them up/dressed on limited time, express their nonbinary nature?

Hello all, the picture is me.

I’m non binary AFAB, but most of the time, I am forced to express as femme. I use a hoist for toileting and transfers, so pants are not practical.

My carers (care givers) only get 45 mins to complete my morning routine and I end up wearing sweater dresses, leg warmers and Velcro strap converse. Because its quick and easy.

I feel disgusting, 99% of the time. I’ve lost a lot of pride in myself. I hate the way I am dressing, hate the way I look.

I’m alternative but never get to express that either. I’d love to wear overalls (dungeree) pants, with a cool metal shirt underneath (I’ve got loads of them. ) but I can’t due to being hoisted.

Wearing the same 6 dresses is really dysphoric.

Has anyone got suggestions for dresses that are more androgynous and easy to put on, when dressing in a sitting position ?

It needs to be easy to tuck in at the back and sides, cover my legs and not be too stiff of a fabric, but also withstand being yanked by tired, overworked carers.

I know I may be asking too much.. but please help!!
