daily NECESSARY reminder to ANYONE who falls under the trans umbrella:
you do not need to have traditionally feminine features to be beautiful.
you do not need to have traditionally masculine features to be handsome.
you do not need to assign gendered adjectives to yourself, because there is NO SUCH THING AS A NURTURING NOSE! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EYEBROWS WITH GOOD LEADERSHIP SKILLS!
gender has NOTHING to do with your physical appearance, your clothing, or your mannerisms. it's a social construct that allows people to assign labels to make themselves feel comfortable - and it is COMPLETELY VALID for you to not identify with a label you were assigned or any label at all.
gender is your mind and souls' truest expression of themselves, and if that means transitioning and surgery to help your physical appearance align with that, then that is completely valid.
BUT
you can't have feminine features, and you can't have masculine features. you can only have features that speak to a feeling. so, with that in mind, this is my reminder to you that YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRANSITION TO BE TRANS.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LOOK MASCULINE TO BE A MAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FEMININE TO BE A WOMAN, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ANDROGYNOUS TO NOT BE EITHER.
thank you for coming to my ted talk, ily.
