That said, when I see trans women dressed excessively girly, inappropriately or almost in a costume (school girl outfits, Princess dresses, etc. etc.) I have trouble relating. It feels like this is enforcing negative trans stereotypes, and harming us as a group.
Logically, I know what other people do is unlikely to affect me, and my reaction is probably due to some remaining transphobia. Just a bunch of girls and women living their best lives and doing the things they always wanted to do but couldn't. I just have trouble squaring this away with my own feelings.
No hate on those enjoying themselves, I really am tempted to chalk this up firmly as a 'me' problem.
The TL:DR is that yes, it's a me problem. Trans women are beautiful and unique, it's our business what we wear, and haters are gonna hate anyway so I need to get over myself. And I promise I'm working on it.
OP trying so hard not to offend the hugbox, wonder what the commenters have to say:
so brave!
none whatsoever I'm sure, might as well drop the cis/trans labels
hormones make you young again!
learning to accept that you can't get your childhood back and moving on? nah, wear the outfit xueen
need safe spaces without c*s chuds telling us we're being "creepy" or "inappropriate"
op is noticing things
it's just trauma, chud!
mids 30s, dressing 13-14, perfectly valid and normal!
not wanting creepers to represent you is bigotry
cis women need to pass too
