Society associates femininity with vulnerability. So, a woman who performs femininity better, who's gender conforming, is believed easier. I'm nonbinary and arguably butch. I'm big and strong. And she was soft and small... When you're a transfemme, being big and strong makes you vulnerable. Femininity is social power.

Not feeling very good rn...

    hugs It’s a double-edged sword and I’m sorry it’s cut you. Everyone deserves to be respected regardless of how we present. Including and especially you because you matter.

    Be kind to yourself. We like you a lot around here.
