I'm sure you do :)

Aw, thank you! :3

That being said, by choosing not to break gender norms, are you not helping reinforce what an idea of female is?

The thing is, I've only ever seen this argument employed against trans women and not cis women. Nobody bats an eye if a cis woman chooses to wear makeup and a dress, but if a trans woman does, certain people come out of the woodwork crying that she's an instrument of the patriarchy. Cis women can wear what they like, but anything a trans woman wears is a political statement.

I feel like the foundations of this sentiment rest on the idea that trans women are only "honourary women", total outsiders begrudgingly accepted into womanhood but still secretly regarded as some kind of potential intruder to be kicked out at first suspicions.

Anyway, you have a lovely day :)

Thank you, you too!
