mothers be like *projects insecurities onto daughters/afab children*

like, they'll be like "you should start wearing eyeliner and mascara and some concealer for your eye bags, you inherited my tired droopy eyes" "sorry you had to get my flat chest" "be careful, you don't wanna end up fat like me"

and you'll be like *is 15 years old*

#eliot posts #like!#my hooded downturned eyes look gentle #the permanent eye bags even when i sleep enough? well i'm always tired inside and it's neat that my physical appearance ahows that #it's like irl good character design!#i love my flat chest! it's mostly for trans reasons but. my cis sister also has a flat chest and her silhouette looks regal like that #i'm thin but i don't think being fat would be bad either #i also had aunties on my dad's side loudly fret about their big bumpy noses back when i had a kid and my nose hadn't grown in yet #but now i have that nose too and i LOVE IT it is one of my fav facial features #it's a wonder i never actually felt insecure about my appearance #maybe it's cuz beauty was often framed as a way to get a husband and i knew from a young age i didn't like boys #maybe cuz even before i knew i was trans i didn't fully think of myself as a girl. at least not in the same way that other girls were girls #maybe cuz my autistic ass was good at spotting Bullshit Societal Ideas and rejecting them #maybe cuz i spent all of my teenaged years on this site amongst all the body positivity #maybe cuz my dad (as shitty as he was otherwise) was proud of us and thought we were the most lovely things #even tho he was proud of us the same way you'd be proud of s posession. or proud of himself for making us.#still prolly helped anyway
