and another thing:
i'm really short and have not a lot of visible chest (i'm afab). i don't wear makeup. all of these apparently equate to age and maturity, which is stupid, but whatever.
but if you treat me based off of your standards and your biases for what a "young woman" should look like because you're so adult so you "know things" or i don't look my age or whatever the fuck your reasoning is then stop. just fucking stop. i'm so tired of your bullshit.
stop telling me that i shouldn't wear that because it's not "appropriate for girls to shop in the mens section". stop telling me that i should go into sephora because "girls your age like makeup". stop telling me that i don't act like girls my age. stop telling me that, stop equating me with femininity.
clothing doesn't have gender. makeup isn't just for girls. a stereotypical teenager, according to your standards, is usually a jackass, do you want me to act like that?
