No I’m transitioning into my mom
Real talk though that was something I had to work through. Accepting that to the majority of people I’m going to look strange/odd/offputting and realizing that that’s really not what’s important. As long as I like what I look like, it doesn’t matter what others think.
Also the struggle of realizing you look like your own mother
Better than looking like my dad but with hair 🙃
Um actually estrogen makes us way prettier lol.
I agree with pixeltree though, I’m definitely looking more like my mom 😆
It’s not that looking like your mom is inherently bad, it just feels freaky when you’re not used to it.
Legit, that idea always bugs me. On multiple levels.
For one, a person’s value isn’t in looks to begin with. Then, there’s the misogyny of it, reducing women, yet again, into objects of the gaze (it isn’t just the male gaze, and it isn’t always a sexual thing when it is, and my objection to the idea goes beyond that part).
Like, damn, how shitty someone has to be to even think that thought, much less speak it.
But there’s also the smugness that their idea of beauty must be the right one, and the only acceptable one. Fuck off with that shit.
The old adage of beauty being in the eye of the beholder is more than an adage. Just because their punk ass can’t see beauty doesn’t mean it isn’t there to be seen. Yeah, there’s ranges of features and traits that are going to appeal to different percentages of the population, but that still doesn’t mean any given person’ opinion of those traits is inherently superior.
People can really suck
I feel like that’s a bad-faith argument because the same assholes want y’all to not have access to puberty blockers etc. and (if I understand correctly) not having those masculine facial features develop in the first place is the best way to avoid that outcome.
