Wow, I saw this on my all/Top/6hours feed and thought, "I don't get it, why did the lady steal his hat?" until I realized what instance it was from.
(Editing to add, as a cis woman myself I have to shave my chin daily, good thing it's all gray now and less noticeable. Epilators and laser didn't work for me, so I just shave. There's more of us than you would ever know, so don't let unreasonable female beauty standards give you gender dysphoria,[further edit~~hon~~GIRL!])

Fuck, I needed that and it wasn't even directed to me ๐ฅบ
seeing this 7d later the "hon" at the end just killed me (hon is actually a term used to describe unpassing transwomen who are percieved as ugly, mostly used on 4chans /lgbt board)
Oh dear! I didn't intend it that way at all, just crone to young girl. I'll edit!
it's ok, you had no way of knowing it and I imagine most people here fortunately don't know the terms meaning on 4chan
lol 4chan can eat shit. Hon, short for honey, is a widely used term of endearment and I don't think anyone should stop using it because of some 4chan weirdos. Don't spread their culture.
