you know, i get a lot of comments about my face..
the truth of the matter is that i'm objectively rather attractive for a transgendered person with no surgery, relative to my ethnic background. i know the stereotypes, and that people expect them, but the reality is that they only apply to a small subset of transgendered people coming out of different types of entertainment-based employment. they get disproportionate levels of attention due to their higher levels of visibility, but they don't represent the average transgendered person very well. the average transgendered person is really a girl-next-door type that would prefer to fit in. the literature has even historically attempted to fix the stereotype to cisgendered gay men, but i agree with some of the pushback on that being a little dismissive...
i'm of mediterranean background, so i have a substantial nose. but it really isn't going to be perceived as jumping out of my face unless you're grasping at straws in order to criticize my appearance. relative to a lot of jewish, arab or italian women, it's not particularly huge. it doesn't have that triangular arch, or that bloated trying-to-escape-your-face look. it's even fairly symmetric. really, by mediterranean standards, it's on the smaller end - and pretty unobtrusive, in the sense of not jutting out anywhere.
like many irish people, i have a long, dolichocephalic skull shape.
i'm of finnish background as well, so i have high cheekbones and somewhat distinctive eyes. but these are considered attractive in virtually all cultures.
what i'm getting at with this write-up is that i don't want to hear it. i've heard it enough, and it's tiring - because it's not grounded. if you're going to comment negatively on the way i look, i'm going to remove your comment and block your profile. so don't waste your time.
you gender that wrong, you're just being an ass.
