It's already common for women of color, especially black women, to be seen as more 'masculine' than their white counterparts. Add PCOS into the mix--it's like hell. My voice is deep. I'm chubby. And I grow facial hair that even after shaving, using creams, etc. will stubble back and become visible in 2 days. It makes me feel ugly and less of a woman. I know having hair is just a trait of mamals. I know it is human. But everytime I don't look baby smooth with a full face of makeup and my hair in braids rather than its natural state--I feel like less of a woman. I've had many people assume I was trans--which is not the problem. The problem is they assume I was born a man because of things I cannot control. That's what they imply when they say that. Disrespecting ALL women. It's frustrating to not feel beautiful and desirable because my body produces more testosterone and doesn't 'function' like a 'normal' woman's does.
