I keep seeing people suggest Crowley's presentation in 1827 was feminine, and listen—headcanon what you want, I'm not your mom. But the justification is that he's supposedly dressed in feminine, as opposed to masculine, clothing? He isn't. You're just looking at Regency fashion with 21st-century eyes.
Both Aziraphale and Crowley are exemplaries of well-dressed gentlemen of the early 19th century, just in different styles.
On the left, a many-caped greatcoat like the one Aziraphale is wearing; on the right, a coat with puffed sleeves and a narrow waist like the one Crowley is wearing. (Both images seem to originate from Journal des Dames et des Modes, 1811 and 1826, respectively.)
I also saw something about Crowley's fob watch actually being a chatelaine?
Again, I have to disagree. What Crowley's wearing just looks like a watch chain, which both men and women wore. What you can see is the chain and a charm at the end; the watch itself is tucked into a pocket (same as with Aziraphale's).
Watch chain (left; another plate from Journal des Dames et des Modes) vs. chatelaine (right, from here).
While a chatelaine could possibly refer to a decorative watch chain, the chatelaines specifically associated with women are the accessories worn by female heads of household or housekeepers (hence the name) to hold keys and other useful items. They could get quite elaborate. Crowley's doesn't look particularly like a chatelaine more than it looks like a watch chain, to me.
To sum up, there's not really anything I can see about Crowley's fashion choices in 1827 that specifically says "female presenting"; it all fits in with men's fashion of the time. You can headcanon whatever you want! But this particular era isn't one in which Crowley's wardrobe and styling definitively reads as feminine.
Note for a couple people with poor reading comprehension: TERFs are not welcome on this post. Fuck off.

Calls to search a Manitoba landfill for the remains of slain Indigenous women will be heard across the country tomorrow.
From Victoria to Halifax protesters will march to the steps of their local government buildings to protest and demand the Manitoba government pay to sift through over 61,000 tonnes of trash to bring home the bodies of four women, alleged to have been killed by one man.
Tara Martinez organized the Indigenous Day of Action which will happen with the provincial legislature as the backdrop.
“Our silence is compliance of the violence,” said Martinez, who oversees public education at the Children First Society of Canada.

Can I just say, why is there such a focus on women being abused sexually for power in LO?
It’s horrible!
It’s implied Hera used her body to get close to Kronos
Demeter had sex with Zeus because she believed she’d marry him and be queen only to get tossed aside immediately.
(Sex by coercion is still assault I can’t believe I even have to say this)
Persephone gets sexually assaulted by Apollo.
And like why is SA being used as a way to create drama?!
Also double standards be like ‘ohh poor Persephone’ and ‘Demeter deserved it if she’s stupid enough to believe Hades would say that’
This fandom is so gross it’s not funny.
What do you mean a woman deserves to get assaulted because she’s stupid?!
Also considering Hades treatment of Demeter it’s not even far fetched for Demeter to think this!
Stop livin behind the bubble of hades is perfect! He isn’t!
Also can we talk about how Zeus and Metis’s fling thing mentioned is predatory because Zeus is younger than Hades (who’s 19 at the time of the war) and Poseidon who’s younger than Hades?
Zeus would be 15-17.
So why tf is that his fling with Metis is played off as a joke?!
I’m so mad about this. Like harhar RS we get it ‘Zeus is manwhore’ BUT THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS
The way RS portrays SA as a joke or irrelevant until it drives drama and no other thing is GROSS

I just think it's weird how people go, "well every man/woman hates being a man/woman, so you probably aren't trans!" is seen as, like, a valuable argument. I have certainly heard people complain about the experiences they have because of their gender, but that's where it stops. I think, though, that trans and cis people have a vested interest in making gender less restrictive because I have noticed cis people also don't like gender essentialism - that's also what cis people tend to hate, too, even if they aren't aware that that is what they hate.
I don't know how to stress this enough, and I feel like I have said this a million times, but trans people by and large do not have to hate our previous gender - and we often don't! Trans people often hate being forced into a gender we aren't, or being forced to conform to an incorrect gender, but that by no means indicates that trans people hate a certain gender.

Winnipeg city council has voted to call on the federal and provincial governments to fund a landfill search.
Councillors Cindy Gilroy (Daniel Mclntyre) and Vivan Santos (Point Douglas) brought a motion to the city back in July, which called on city council to formally request the federal and provincial governments to fund a search of the Prairie Green Landfill.
The remains of Marcedes Myran and Morgan Harris, victims of an alleged serial killer, are believed to be located in the landfill.
Gilroy told council on Thursday she hopes this will send a clear message.
