me, finally gaining a 1/4 oz of self-confidence: y’know what, i’ll just let my chin hair grow because i’ve decided to stop hating myself and plucking triggers feelings of self-harm for me.

my parents: so... you’re just gonna let yourself go?

“that’s not the norm for women though”
wow, i had no idea.

“but why does everything you do have to be a statement”
when you ask me why i have to come up with a reason

“what am I supposed to tell people when they ask why i let you look like this”
uhhh to mind their business?

i’m not posting this for sympathy but i’m posting this for my followers who struggle with body & gender dysphoria to let you know i love you and fuck them peoples
