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...

People seem to like to call people transphobic nowadays I guess. I had some nut job here on Lemmy calling me transphobic despite no evidence of it. They followed me around on my previous comments calling me a transphobe. I asked them to post screenshots for everyone to see the evidence. Multiple times. I said I would apologize for anything that could be misconstrued as transphobic, and try to make it clearer what I actually meant to say. No reply.

People are just weird sometimes. Maybe they don't know what the words mean that they use. Ignore it, is my advice.

I like my wife to be smooth on her legs, and semi smooth downstairs. She likes herself fully smooth though.

I even like myself smooth, but my wife doesn't want me fully smooth.

It's all just preference. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Nothing to do with gender at all, in our case.
