a trans woman friend of mine was crying that one time and since she’d been forced into behaving like a boy for a significant chunk of her life, and boys are not permitted to cry past a certain age (which is a problem on its own but not the problem I want to talk about in this post) and it was kind of a setback since she had to look presentable soon after, so I told her to go splash some cold water on her face to help with that
