No real- when I say I like whoever I find attractive either they wanna make jokes and say “so kids/animals” like I’m automatically a sicko Or they aggressively try to label me when I personally don’t care. I like what I like so if I date someone who’s the opposite, same, or transitioned etc then it is what it is. I think people are shocked because I’m not a walking queer stereotype physically.
Most ppl assume I’m “obviously” a cishet, 100% gender conforming woman despite my VERY short hair and the majority of my wardrobe being unisex. Some ppl have gone as far as saying “WHEN you get pregnant/ have kids” which is not only rude/ none of their business, but it gives me sm dysphoria bc I do no fully identify with being female/ a woman. I’m still not sure if I’m nonbinary or just a somewhat gender nonconforming woman, but goddamn I’m sick of being put in this box of womanhood/ femininity
My mom even keeps making comments like “I could NEVER see you looking androgynous, much less masculine”. And how I’m “obviously” a woman and very feminine. I know part of the reason ppl assume I’m very feminine is bc of my short stature and round/ oval face but those are things I literally cannot change without surgery. I’ve even started wearing way less makeup and tried “masculine” makeup looks, but that doesn’t seem to make any difference, and I look like a baby without makeup so idk 😭
