The complexity of gender questioning and the desire for beauty

Gender questioning individuals often experience a complex relationship with beauty and aesthetics. It's not solely about rejecting femininity, but also rejecting the commodification of beauty and the pressure to conform to societal standards. Some individuals, especially girls, may go through a phase of hyper-femininity before rejecting it entirely. They may try to make themselves unattractive as a way to rebel against beauty norms and competition. However, it's important to recognize that the desire for beauty and engaging with aesthetics is a natural and inherent part of being human. It exists in nature and should not be dismissed as superficial. The key lies in finding a balance and avoiding the commodification and superficiality associated with beauty culture.
