Look if y'all really want to support transwomen, y'all gotta stop just blindly telling them all they’re these beautiful smol beans and their outfits are cute. These men are out here looking like 10 year olds raiding mom’s closet and makeup drawer. Nothing matches or fits right. And tell them to wash their hair and learn to treat colored hair.
It’s true ! regardless of whether they are trans women or cis women, women can have terrible taste in fashion. True equality is knowing that your birth gender doesn’t affect your ability to dress or act like a tool, as OP demonstrates.
Gender is a construct but somehow you’re born with a gender
Gender does not equal sex. They teach this in second grade biology. Maybe if you weren’t spending your time drawing eyes you would be more worldly.
For example, sex characteristics do not equate gender. a woman how, due to cancer risks, got a mastectomy, is still a woman despite lacking some female sex characteristics. Same with hormones. A woman who produces, due to a hormonal imbalance, too much testosterone, is still a woman despite this. A woman who is intersex is still a woman despite the mutation.
Gender itself, I don’t think is a construct. The ideals of femininity and masculinity, however, absolutely are. That’s why patriarchal countries like India have a separate gender role for “women who are allowed to do things only men are allowed to do.”
These women are treated lesser than human because they do not fit inside the strict societal gender roles that exist within those communities.
A transexual woman is a woman, who, due to a faulty wiring in the brain, experiences something called dysphoria. Dysphoria is when the brain sends signals stating “I am a woman”, but the sex characteristics do not match. Things that should be there, aren’t, whilst things that should be, are not.
As a means to “fix” this incongruence with what ther brain is signaling, they often go through hormone therapy, which over time causes the body to change morphologically, as well as, when possible, get breast implants and bottom surgery to fit more into the image their brain is telling them is correct.
Due to their often very male upbringing, trans women don’t always know the hows and whys of fashion and hair styling, as many of them were taught that “boys don’t like those things”. If they wear clothes that look outdated or “out of mom’s closet”, it’s possible they have no modern feminine clothing, again, because “men don’t wear dresses”.
Sometimes they can’t afford changing out over 20 years of clothes for a complete wardrobe change. Some of them don’t need to, because clothes don’t affect your gender. Butch women and tomboys dress like they steal their clothes from their lumberjack uncles. It’s rather classist to think you can just overhaul your entire wardrobe in one go. I’m a very poor cis woman, and when i got out of my tomboy phase, it took several years of savings to fill my wardrobe with dresses and colour.
TLDR Oh Goddess of Fashion and Hair, why don’t you offer them tips instead of acting like a skank
I’m a dysphoric Butch. You don’t need to explain your ideas about gender, I’m aware. Brain sex has been debunked years ago fyi. A transwoman is a man and a male. I’m not giving a guy fashion advice because I’d rather laugh at how ridiculous he looks.
