Y'all made me shave.
Image descritption: Drake format where two pictures on the left react to two panels of text on the right. On top, there's a drawing of a masculine looking person with a slight beard looking away dissaprovingly from the text "Shaving to 'be more employable'". On the bottom, there is a drawing of a feminine looking person looking happy and pointing to the text "Shaving to look more like a girl".
Hehe, I've been going around the past week or so (still mostly stealthing) with shaved arms, legs, and painted nails, and despite a couple of double-takes, nobody even commented. (Actually a bit disappointed...)
Those aren't double takes, those are hot damn...s
I've been in femboy mode for the past 6 months, and it has not delivered results. Unless you count some negativity from an old lady on a bus. I've only been using nail polish for a couple weeks, and I did get a positive comment on that. Unfortunately, I'm tall and have stress lines on my face, so it's hard for me to feel cute, and I get into a negative feedback loop because of that.
Apart from your disappointment, that's somewhat nice to hear as I'm actually in the process of convincing myself noone will notice if I shave my legs 🙈
