You know, from transitioning as a woman I will say that there are definitely tons of assumptions as to what people assume you want. For example makeup, doily underwear, etc. I do not like makeup, it just feels so wrong to me and it is not because I am trans.
@XerTheSquirrel Being plain is totally valid and I have known many woman (cis and trans alike) that don't like makeup or getting dolled up. I might love makeup and dolly underwear, but even for me it's not like that's the *only* thing I want. Sometimes I just want stuff that I won't feel guilty about wiping my greasy hands on. <3
Toxic beauty culture is just shoved into women's faces so much.
It is just that people are like "You are going to have 10,000 different shades of makeup!" and honestly all I have is only two nail polish colors: clear and white. I wear plaid and my clothes are so plain. I love sports bras because they are plain. I am a plain girl, I love it!
