CW trans subreddits being transphobic
Went on r/transtimelines (or whatever it's called), this morning looking for people, idk, that resemble me, didn't really find any but it was still kinda inspiring until...
I scrolled down in the comments on someone asking a question about how estrogen affects facial hair growth, if they could keep their beard on estrogen basically, and there was this whole chain of 4chan-vibes posting being like "if people like you wouldn't keep acting like this, growing a beard just to be quirky and different, then there wouldn't be man in a dress tropes"
It was downvoted a little, but it was multiple people, seemingly trans people, talking like this from slightly different angles. I've thought about keeping some amount of facial hair when I transition, ngl this stung even though I know exactly how self defeating and hateful and shitty the people saying it are and that they're wrong
Redditors are so stupid, I wish we woulf live in a world where women could have cool beards without getting harrased. Would make it easier for trans ppl, and cis women with beard growth. I once saw some artwork of female dwarves (the fantasy kind) with beards and those were some cool looks(with braids and ribbons and stuff), that didn't seem very difficult to actually replicate.
If it weren't for people like this, there wouldn't be the "trans people are just enforcing gender norms" terf trope. Just kidding. Transphobes gonna transphobe. Including transphobic trans people apparently.
Fuck this assimilationist respectability politics, uncritical support to my transfemme comrades who want to have facial hair
yes!
I don't even have the guts to come out to my family yet, but that's the goal. Zero fucks given, I just want to feel good about myself and in my own body, I don't want to adopt someone else's hangups about hair just because society says any femme should be hairless
GOOD GOAL
