I found it really interesting to hear your perspective on beauty expectations as a transfeminine non-binary individual. I'm on the other direction, so to speak: AFAB genderfluid and also naturally fitting into feminine beauty standards. My experiences are vastly different because of that. I find that, the more I experience and get comfortable with my gender expression, the less I care about how others might perceive my appearance in terms of traditional beauty. I find myself way more focused on causing confusion or looking more masculine than on whether strangers think I'm attractive or not. Good on you for causing confusion btw, goals af.

There will be a bit about her in the new video too!
