just to be clear, you can be trans and still wear clothing traditionally associated with your birth-assigned gender. you can be a boy and wear a dress. you can be a girl and don “boyish” clothes. clothing ≠ gender. if a cis guy wears makeup and a skirt, it doesn’t make him any less a man. the same goes for trans people. it’s transphobic to hold transgender people to a higher standard for their gender expression than cis people. trans women don’t owe you hyper-femininity. trans men don’t owe you extreme masculinity. to say otherwise is bigoted and gross. just wear what makes you happy and leave people alone.
