So, I posted about not wanting to shave despite my family and the guy I like wanting me to. Someone on another social media platform (I know Lemmy isn't like other social medias sometimes) said that it was because the guy I like was transphobic and saw me as a girl. Is his behavior transphobic for wanting me to shave my private areas and legs? I think it's just a preference...

Don't let others dictate what you do with/to your own body.

"One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone."

Do you, and if they don't like it, they can go shave their own bits

As far as whether or not its transphobic, I could see it being an aspect of transphobia, but not transphobic by itself. I would just call it a preference, but to each their own I guess.

Thanks, I won't let them dictate. I think it's a preference too.
