i don't want to step on a friend's thread about estrogen and how people talk about it working miracles.

@forestine we mostly want different things out of puberty, but there are two things we all want: to feel at home in our bodies, and to have the right to change them so we can.

@forestine even transmascs on T love to hop on this trend, complaining about bottom growth and ass hair
The latter at least has been entirely white people from what I've seen
And I'm just like... Wait, you guys didn't have ass hair?
Any deviation from white femininity beauty ideals is seen as uglier bc of white supremacy but I actually fucking hate the white femininity box and Do Not Want It and that's a big part of why I wanted to take T in the first place???

@forestine a lot of white trans people, regardless of ASAB or gender, have not deconstructed white supremacist beauty standards at all, so then we have transfems thinking they're ugly unless they can perfectly replicate cis white womanhood, and trans ppl who were AFAB struggling to still find ourselves attractive once we leave it behind
It's really sad, and ends up harming TBIPOC even more
