East Asian = Infinite boymoding?
Everyone i know irl here (i live in a western country now, away from my family) says i look very very obviously femme and I'm not at all boymoding, they question how my family hasn't found out yet and said I'm living a bit dangerously, but I feel differently?
As a test, I sent a picture of myself at an event like,, fully femme with my hair down, makeup and such to my parents the other day. They are definitely not accepting like they'd disown me, but they didn't really comment? My mom said my makeup looked nice.
Maybe because I come from an east asian place, for men stuff like wearing makeup and generally having a slim androgynous appearance is considered desirable. I feel I can basically do anything I want in regards to my appearance the only thing that might expose me to my family would be if i had noticable breast growth (i don't) or wore something super explicitly femme like a mini skirt (dont really want to).
have any trans people from east asia experienced similar (i'm specifically chinese diaspora)? am I being a bit overconfident in my safety in a way thats gonna backfire on me?
