I wouldn't worry. It might actually work in your favour because they'll assume you believe one thing and then you can surprise them

nose ring!! or eyebrow ring

Red Star T-shirt or a Mao shirt, everyone and their brother has a Che shirt.

i've gotten lazy with boymode fashion and just wear obscure lefty-adjacent hardcore/metalcore band t-shirts but the rest of me just screams countrified outdoorsperson so i can blend in. basically punk-redneck-dadbod. unfortunately where i live punk-redneck is your standard libertarian-chud so they just think i'm one of them. helps at work though, because i can inject leftist concepts right into people's brains, their shields are down

at home i go butch girlmode

i used to have little markers of non-gender conformity, like colorful bracelets, nail polish (metallic and generally chipped), more femme hair cuts (either long undercut or spikey emo style), clean shaven all over, tongue ring/nipple piercings with that rainbow oil slick looking steel. all of my tats are kind of femme, colorful stars and stuff, but under shirt sleeves. basically i used to dress like a punk lesbian and most of my friends were such

don't know if any of this is useful (im about your age, sans beard)

buuut about the glasses: i don't wear regular glasses and can't help much (besides maybe do some round frames if they look good?)

does anyone know what are considered non-chud coded sunglasses? style, brand, whatever? only ever had a pair of aviators back when they were hipster, and my eyes are being vaporized by UV

Palestine pin? Rainbow pin? plenty of little ways you can signal you're normal

Not the most useful info, i know, but i'm very similar. Most people would assume i'm sort of chud or prepper type if you based it on looks alone. However, i'm laughing, joking around, smiling, dancing around, and generally willing to entertain any conversation with someone. If there's one thing I know, working in a field where the average person has hitler particles physically emanating from them, is that chuds are fucking miserable. Constantly complaining, getting angry at absolutely nothing, and lashing out at everyone all the time. Just being willing to strike up a convo and have a laugh is what gets people to trust you.

I second the nail polish rec if you're cool with that. If you wanted to, you could do non-natural hair color, too.

nail polish, instant vibe changer

Have you considered being under 5’6”? I spent a good portion of my life trying to appear chud before I fully embraced being a cute lil guy.

I mean having a beard doesn't automatically make you a chud, and I wouldn't clock you as one based on how you describe yourself, so I personally wouldn't worry about it. BUT, if it bothers you it bothers you and if you want to change up how you look then so be it. Or, is this about looking like a chud, or just not feeling as comfy dressing unassuming and masculine? You bring up possibly being nonbinary, so just a thought.

Usually things that flag people as chuds to me are: T-Shirts with stupid corny jokes on them about guns, beer, women, "don't tread on me", "come and take it" type shit, white power symbols... Also shirts/hats/bumper stickers etc. with the American flag on it unless it's like, super small or an elderly person. Also glasses that look like these lol. Perhaps bootcut jeans too, that's a stretch and idk why but it is sus to me

If you want to "look more leftist" I guess it would just be t-shirt signaling, really, or backpack patches, stickers on your water bottle if you always have one on you, or something. Leftist/alternative band t-shirts, if there are any local leftist orgs/mutual aid groups or like nonprofits that do good work in your community that sell swag, those can be good indicators. Or you can get spicier, SRA shirt, "kill your local nazi shirt", something like that.
