It’s not even trans girls this applies to, it’s all women.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

So wear whatever.

Fuck ‘em.

It also applies to men.

Real men people wear what they want.

The fashion police is mostly staffed by women.

Most comments I see and hear about women's chlothing come from men. Nonetheless, we're all raised in the same patriarchy and get educated with (roughly) similar values. So it does not matter whether these comments come from men, women, non binary or agender folks, they all originate in a patriarchical upbringing and the patriarchy is what needs to be brought down.

Doesn't match my experience at all outside of topic threads designed for engagement.

Step off line and the vast majority of men couldn't give two fucks and thinks you're absurd for not having pockets. I'd they are aggressive assholes they'll want you to show more skin. But the above is self inflicted.

Taking it further, I bet you most trans women give less a fuck then normal women.

Great example of how to miss the actual point. My experiences are different than yours. That's not my point. My point is about how these are tied to societal expectations and gender roles that we, as a society, need to overcome.

Based cis woman and I as a trans gal agree, I also just wear whatever the fuck I like. Currently that's a fairly unisex/tomboyish style, but very rarely a skirt at home.

I mainly come off as "flowery elf child 1960s hippie witchy gothic Zen", wearing every piece of my homemade jewelry, looking like I just smoked an eighth of indica, and smelling like I just came from a Morrocan bazaar. I call it "the toasted fairy". :3

This is so checking real, a while ago, our neighbor came out as a trans and she said:

She doesn't dress feminin enough to know what it's like to be a girl. 

And then, when she started transitioning, she said: 

She doesn't have to wear this kind of clothing, she won't be a girl anyway. 

To be honest, for someone that want to be respectful about other, that's not the best things? Like, we didn't talk to this neighbor much anyway. The only time she cares about her is when she's transitioning. 

Now, my mom has changed and would probably not say something like this again (at least I hope).

Women do this to each other. Not just trans women.

I didn't ask for your bland opinions, Karen.
Maybe get a Vogue award before you speak.
