View submission: Trans Women, Male Privilege, and the Intersectionality of Patriarchal Oppression
I can only talk about the cis but depressingly cis women also have struggles with presenting feminine. Too tall, too strong, too big bonned, , muscular, small breasts, no curves, etc are all things cis women are supposed to avoid or hide in the altar of the cis het conception of femininity. I have a tall, broad shouldered, big bonned friend who always wears jewelry to signal "feminine" and she would never dream of having short hair or unstyled hair.

And transphobia makes this worse wether your cis or trans but especially if you're POC thanks to white centric beauty standards.
