One more reason to destroy gender norms

I’m a trans girl. I like pink stuff, doing cute makeup, painting my nails, but I don’t like wearing dresses, tight leggings and skirts, because i thing they make an emphasis on my masculine traits. Sometimes I see (what I assume is) à cis girl wearing some more gender neutral clothes, like a baggy cargo or a band shirt, and it makes me feel so happy because it’s like a reminder that I don’t need to fit in a specific box to be a girl.

I have a trans masc friend. He likes having a beard, short hairs, dressing manly, but he would like to paint his nails and do some light masculine eyeliner, but that makes him disphoric. So every time I see a cis man online with painted nails or makeup I send him the post. It’s a reminder that he don’t need to fit in a specific box to be a boy.

Let’s destroy gender norms, I’m sure a lot of my beloved trans folks would feel better about themselves if more people stepped outside of those stupid arbitrary gender rules.

And to all cis people doing gender non-conforming things, thank you so much, you’re helping a lot of trans people, even without knowing it!!

(And to the girls reading this that are very binary or gender conforming, that’s awesome to !!)

Much love and take care !
