Man/woman was everything I was bullied into being/not being. Being a transwoman is learning to allow myself to just be and like what Iike. Wanting to pass is mostly for my psychological and physical safety because I like a lot of things I otherwise get bullied out of, like wearing pink skirts and injecting estrogen.
My facial hair bothers me because it's a safety issue. Not because it's masculine, but because the contrast between my skirts, my mannerisms, and social expectations means facial hair will draw attention I don't want.
In other words, I'm learning to both follow my joy and keep myself safe. What is masculine and what is feminine aren't really the question for me at this point. Though, being early in transition and having a lot to unpack, I still think about it a lot.
If you're into philosophy I've found Judith Butler's work helpful in clarifying a lot of this.
