Y’know… I have a trans kid !

Theres something to be said about how progressive and ostensibly accepting areas push androgyny on young transfems. There was always this sense for me that while I would be allowed blockers and later even estrogen because I wasn't a man it was also not socially acceptable for me to be a woman (this is not to say I was not treated as a woman, a corollary to transitioning young is passing decently without being super feminine). I never learned makeup because none of the ciswomen in my life felt like teaching me and further any exploration myself would be punished with strange looks and isolation, the same goes for feminine clothes. It feels like transitioning as a child denied me the chance of having the "baby trans" experience because I was still controlled by the cis people in my life when I started to transition. Of course not transitioning would've been exponentially worse and I doubt I'd even be alive. But now I can't really be feminine in the way I want to be because what the fuck kind of woman who's been a woman since 4th grade doesn't know how to do makeup or dress femininely. It's embarrassing but worse than that its embarrassing in a way no one I know in real life or online can actually relate to. I've never met anyone who transitioned as young as I did in real life and everyone I've ever seen online who did is the perfect caricature of their gender because they grew up in the suburbs of fucking wherever with the most feminine mom on earth who taught them how to do their nails and makeup.
