Hey I'm not sure if this is quite the place to make a submission or not, if it's not feel free to ignore and delete I just need a place to maybe get this off my chest a little!
Today someone at work asked me if I was masc outside of my (uniformed) job. And I come in almost every day hair done and a full face of makeup! And it just hit me so hard as soon as I left that fat women aren't given the allowance to be feminine, like obviously growing up as a fat kid it was something I already knew but something that's been hitting me more and more is that even with efforts to be femme presenting I'm still questioned.
It just strikes me that other women in my department wouldn't get asked that whether or not they wore makeup, or had their hair done, or did all the traditional "woman" things! They get to just be women!!
Obviously this isn't anything new it was just so uniquely frustrating compared to so many other experiences that I want to curl up in a ball and cry.
This is absolutely a reasonable place to submit this! And yep, definitely thin privilege.
