I shave my armpits because to me it feels nice, and less sweaty. I also shave my legs. I used to do it to please other people, but now I just do it because I like the way it looks and feels. I only do it if I feel like it. It doesn't matter to me if other people do or not--anyone is allowed to do whatever they want with their body!
Standards of femininity and of feminine beauty are probably... one of the biggest reasons I don't feel completely comfortable in being a cis girl. I just want to dress, act, talk, do whatever however I want regardless of my gender. I hate how femininity is so closely tied to the (straight cis) male gaze and how I'm expected to be a certain way in order to be a "normal girl."
I hate swimsuits and the way they make me feel, and I hate makeup, and I hate feeling like I have to put on a costume for other people. When I go to the mall with my friends, sometimes they want to look at clothes, which is fine because I like clothes well enough, but I don't feel comfortable shopping with people because I cannot bring myself to fit the stereotypical feminine narrative. And I just get so sick of being judged for it! "Just wear the swimsuit, you'll look great, don't be self-conscious!" It's not that I'm self-conscious, I mean that's part of it, but I just hate the way it feels and feminine gender roles just make me want to scream.
And I hate when people try to force stereotypical feminine roles of softness, delicacy, and motherhood onto you as if I'm supposed to be soft and nurturing by default. No, get that away from me.
I don't have that many feminine features. I'm an extremely small-chested individual, I'm lanky and awkward looking, and I chopped all my hair off a year and a half ago. I've embraced it as part of my increasingly more androgynous aesthetic. And I can't stand when people, even friends, draw attention to it like I'm some kind of enigma instead of a regular old human being!
wooooOOOOOOOOOO don't get me started on prom! I'm fine wearing more casual dresses, but prom dresses for some reason make me want to rip off my skin and throw it into a fire. Prom culture is the bane of my existence. Junior prom wasn't even that fun and I wanted to rip my skin off for half of the night. I want desperately to wear a suit this year but Traditional Gender Roles(TM) dictate that I can't do that unless I want to have a stressful and long-winded argument with my parents. /shrug
That turned into a rant. Enjoy that mess.
