As soon as you get tits, you lose your freedom of movement. I went from being able to run around happily to having to be strapped down with a sports bra if I wanted to do anything more than walk. I hated it so much. I'm so jealous of men who can just be out with friends and decide to play Frisbee or whatever

Also growing hair... being called manly because I didn't shave my legs when I was 13. Being called an ugly dyke because I didn't follow beauty standards of wearing make up (it all made me feel itchy and horrible and I hated how it looks on me), being bullied for not straightening my hair, for not having a flat stomach as I got wide before I gained height.

I can relate to all of this as a trans woman. It sucks a lot how policed our looks are
