feel weird when people talk about beauty culture and say stuff about how all afab people are expected to and pressured into being part of it especially growing up as an afab person who wasn't? I get that it's the case for most afab people but I was never pressured into shaving (my mom heavily encouraged me too but not because I was afab she just thinks underarm hair is gross and wishes my cis father and brother would shave too) or wearing makeup and being feminine and was never bullied (at least to my face) for any of those things, so hearing it treated as a universal experience is kind of alienating. even more so because I experience the opposite of feeling uncomfortable and unsafe and like I'm being judged whenever I'm feminine in public and also don't even really know how to do a lot of these "mandatory" beauty stuff if/when I want to do them (where to buy and how to put on makeup/how to shave/how to style and care for growing out hair/any kind of skin care past washing it). maybe it's from iding as transmasc from a young age (though i think i was like this before then also) but. idk. there's no universal afab/amab experiences
