Forgot something. Definitely an "our experiences aren't universal" scenario but saying that transfems are allowed to explore while transmascs aren't is... Kinda wild? Almost every transfem I know has struggled to express herself because of backlash from randos and the already high standards of ideal femininity. Don't get me wrong, I have seen the other side where transmascs get derided for enjoying GNC styles or unmasculine interests. It sucks both ways. Nobody wins.
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I definitely know how trans women get shat on for exploring, too- it's DANGEROUS for trans women to be butch in any way that isn't your typical TV version of butch (flannel shirt and plain lipstick lol)
It sucks for everyone and I just wish folks would let people wear what they want lol.
