internalized transphobia
I follow a trans woman on TikTok who has a full beard, a receding hairline, and a really hairy chest. But she makes tiktoks in dresses and low cut shirts and is now out at work and doing that at her day job as well. And I guess I’m both bewildered and jealous that she can do that. I’m absolutely terrified to just look like a man in a dress. And my body hair is so thick all over the place that I just don’t see any way out of that.spoiler
i do not understand people like that. like how would someone not feel an insane amount of dysphoria over having a beard? why not shave it? same with the body hairprobably a shitty take but i simply do not trust people like that, but i've had multiple really bad experiences with a trans woman who was exactly like that who actively didn't want to shave her beard and she harassed me multiple times so maybe i'm just biased when it comes to this

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I keep my beard around because I’m boymoding the vast majority of the time and my clean shaven face makes me more dysphoric than my bearded one. But I can’t imagine doing it the other way around and still not doing hair removal. I dunno. Not like there’s a good way to ask
